If you love stories about scandalous affairs in the Tudor dynasty, then buckle up buttercup because it's time to talk about Katherine Howard, fifth wife of the infamous Henry VIII of England.

Katherine's life has a lot of ups and downs and in this episode we're looking at her early life. What was she like? What was her family life like? How did she end up where she did? Well, we're sipping a peachy cocktail and spilling the tea!

In this episode, we discuss the tragic story of Queen Katherine Howard. We delve into her background, education, and experiences at court. We explore her relationships with Henry Mannox and Francis Derham, and her rise in the royal court. The episode ends with a toast to Katherine Howard and a hope that you're prepared for what's to come in the next episode (don't google it).
