Smiling Buddha fortune #3:
"The only rose without a thorn is friendship."
Not True!
Catherine Howard was known as the rose without a thorn.
Cartherine Howard was Henry the VIII's 5th wife. Hank was a total freak who blamed his wifes for not providing him with a male heir to the throne. He got his first marraige (Catherine of Aaragon) annulled. He trumped up treason charges against Anne Boleyn and had her axed. Jane Seymour finally birthed a son to the H-man (Edward VI) but she died a few days later. He then married Anne of Cleves who he insulted by saying that she looked like a horse. The marraige lasted 6 months and they divorced. Then, he married Catherine Howard:
When she married Henry in 1540 she was 19 and he was almost 50. It is said that the time Henry spent with Catherine rejuvenated him. She was, however, accused (rightly) by his courtiers of having many lovers, and so was beheaded (along with the lovers) at the Tower of London in 1542 with an axe.
"Now the moment was at hand, Catherine was calm. Her composure, however, owed much to the laudanum with which the flagon of sweet, redcurrant wine had been doctored. Her attendants fussed over her headdress and the folds of her gown while Catherine dazedly reflected on the events that would soon culminate with the wielding of the Royal Axe."
Finally, Henry married Katherine in 1543 because Henry needed somebody to look after him in his old age.
...I just thought you should know.
