Catherine Howard (c1520 - 1542), fifth wife of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547). Catherine had an affair with her mother's cousin, Thomas Culpepper, and was so found guilty of adultery and sentenced to death.
After she was found to be guilty of the charges, Catherine was eventually taken to the Tower of London by barge on 10 February 1542. Due to be executed on the 13th, Catherine asked for the block to be brought to her so that she could practice putting her head upon it. On the 13th February 1542 she went to her execution, which was over very quickly. Her body was placed in the chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula at the Tower, to join that of her cousin Anne Boleyn.
