Catherine Howard (c1520 - 1542) was Henry VIII's fifth wife, and a great deal younger than Henry (1491 - 1547). Henry and Catherine were married on the day that Thomas Cromwell (Henry's chief minister who fell from grace) was executed, 28 July 1540. Catherine was not only a cousin of the ill fated Anne Boleyn (Henry's second wife) but was a niece of the Duke of Norfolk. Henry was extremely happy with her, but Catherine made the terrible mistake of having an affair with a cousin of her mother's, Thomas Culpepper, which was a treasonable offence. Henry had always seen Catherine as his "rose without a thorn", despite the eventual gossip about her previous affairs which had taken place when she was younger. Henry was said to have genuinely believed the evidence against Catherine was forged, when the truth was brought to him.

Catherine was apprehended, but not before she had tried to intercept Henry when he was coming out of mass at Hampton Court. She apparently ran screaming down a corridor but was stopped by guards. Her ghost is said to haunt that corridor. Henry left Hampton Court on 5 November 1541, and Catherine was placed into custody on 12 November and then sent to Syon House.

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.

On January 23, 1972, the entire population of Istanbul was not placed under house arrest; rather, this event is likely a misunderstanding or misrepresentation of a specific incident. There were no widespread house arrests in Istanbul on that date. If you're referring to a significant event or restriction during that time, please provide more context for clarification.

Can the date of birth be wrong on a arrest warrant?

The date of birth should not be incorrect on an arrest warrant. A persons date of birth, social security number, and description are key pieces of information needed for an arrest warrant. However, if your social security number and description are correct, human-error on your date of birth may not totally squash an arrest warrant. I've seen warrants where a persons date of birth is 01/05/1970 and the warrant listed 05/01/1970, but the social security, and physical descriptions were dead on.

In Georgia if a bond is revoked you lose that money and the offender will be taken back to jail until the court date. If the judge happens to decide that bail can be posted again on their behalf the bond amount will more than likely increase.
