Fan Casting Katherine Howard in A Tudor Tale: Henry VIII

Katherine Howard was Queen of England from 1540 until 1541 as the fifth wife of King Henry VIII. He was 49, and she was between 15 and 21 years old. Judging from the male attention she received, Katherine was attractive, although the French ambassador described her as short and graceful rather than beautiful. She had an appealing personality and loved music and dancing. Katherine was stripped of her title as queen in November 1541 and beheaded three months later on the grounds of treason for committing adultery with her distant cousin, Thomas Culpeper.
