Interesting take on Catherine Howard submitted by wellscai on July 19, 2018, 6:43pm I enjoyed this book and its close examination of Catherine Howard's life and motivations. I appreciated Russell's use of contemporary accounts to try to flesh out a portrait of someone who, despite being queen of England for over a year, is so poorly documented. Interesting thesis on Catherine's motivations, which contradicts some of the more recent scholarship arguing that she was a helpless pawn.
