Facts about Catherine Howard: 1. Catherine’s official queenly motto was “Non autre volonte que la sienna,” which meant “No other will but his.” It was a display of queenly obedience as sweet as it was strategic. 2. Only two pieces of Catherine’s writing survive: her love letter to Thomas Culpeper, written while she was Queen, and her confession. 3. Catherine’s arrest inspires one of the more famous ghost stories in English royal history. If you go to Hampton Court Palace, it’s said you can catch the specter of a screaming young lady in white, rushing down the “Haunted Gallery.”. The story goes that Catherine briefly escaped her arrest and ran to where the King was hearing mass. Before she could make it to the door and beg for her life, the young Queen was dragged back to her apartments, kicking and screaming. 4. Catherine was executed on February 13, 1542, just a day before Valentine’s Day. 5. No convincing evidence proves without a doubt that she had a sexual relationship with Culpeper, and indeed, much of the evidence cited to prove her love for him does not indicate that she was infatuated or romantically involved with him. 6. Writing in the following century, John Weever suggested that “neither this Queen Katherine [Howard], nor Queen Anne [Boleyn], were any way guilty of the breach of matrimony, whereof they were accused”. Indeed, Henry VIII “did cut them off upon false suggestions”. Horrible laws by Henry VIII: While Catherine was under arrest, Parliament passed the Royal Assent by Commission Act of 1541. This new law made it treason for a king’s wife to not disclose her sexual past to the king within 20 days of their wedding. It also made it illegal for the consort to even encourage adultery with herself.
