I am Catherine Howard. I was only 19 when I heard that the King wanted to marry me. He had already been married to my cousin, Anne Boleyn. I was so excited about it; he was so magnificent and always had the most gorgeous clothes. It seemed like a fairytale come true. It was not long after we were married that I soon realised he was very old and fat, and not magnificent at all, and I got very bored. There were a lot of nice young men at court and I soon started going out with some of them. I tried to see them in secret, but Henry found out. It was regarded as treason and he had my head chopped off. We had only been married for 18 months and didn't have any children.
