blazingjaya:lafemmedigitale:Henry Mannox had been her music teacher. And her cousin, Francis Dereham? He’d been one of those men with access to the key to [her childhood dormitory]. These two men had taken advantage of Catherine. And that’s why it’s so unfair that historians have called her a ‘good-time girl’. Today we’d call her an abused child.I fucking love Lucy Worsley. She refuses to take all this bullshit about Katherine Howard and instead just slams them. And she points out throughout the show that the women Henry married DIDN’T HAVE A CHOICE. He was male, and a King, for 4/6 of the wives THEIR King. There was no way for them to safely say No. -- source link
