In our final episode on Catherine Howard, we step into what history left behind… and what did not fit neatly into our previous episodes.

A ghost said to run through Hampton Court Palace, forever caught in a moment of panic. A face no one can truly confirm, with portraits that may or may not belong to her. And a Victorian excavation of the Chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula that raises more questions than answers… including the absence of Catherine herself.

We unravel the legend, the mystery, and the legacy she left behind, while confronting the “bimbo” and “tart” tropes that have defined her for centuries… and how historians have begun to reexamine her story and push back against the narrative that shaped her reputation.

And with that, we bring Catherine Howard’s story to a close.
