In the spring of 1540, Henry VIII, desperate to be rid of his queen, Anna of Kleve, first sets eyes on the enchanting Katheryn Howard. Although the king is now an ailing forty-nine-year-old measuring fifty-four inches around his waist, his amorous gaze lights upon the pretty teenager. Seated near him intentionally by her ambitious Catholic family, Katheryn readily succumbs to the courtship. Henry is besotted with his bride. He tells the world she is a rose without a thorn, and extols her beauty and her virtue. Katherine delights in the pleasures of being queen and the power she has to do good to others. She comes to love the ailing, obese king and tolerate his nightly attentions. If she can bear him a son, her triumph will be complete. But Katheryn has a past of which Henry knows nothing, and which comes back increasingly to haunt her--even as she courts danger yet again"-- 650 0 $a Queens-Great Britain $v Fiction 650 0 $a Historical / Renaissance $v Fiction 651 0 $z England--Court and Courtiers--History--16th Century--Fiction 655 0 $a Historical Fiction 941 $a 6 945 $a lpt 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012015050.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331014014.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20210907010034.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20210204030918.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20201202011040.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20201202010605.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FB6B1A362AFE11EB800EF4DD4BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
