On this day (28 July) 1540, Henry VIII married Catherine Howard at Oatlands Palace. To mark the occasion, I spoke with historian Conor Byrne about Henry’s often misunderstood fifth wife.

Hi! I love your podcast, am so thrilled to listen to scholars talk about the Tudor dynasty. I am a couple episodes behind. I had a question about Thomas Culpepper. I don’t remember where I read this, but did Catherine know him from her childhood? We’re they cousins or other distant family. I thought maybe before the duchess at Lambeth. Thank you for an awesome podcast. Michelle t
Thank you for your kind words, Michelle! As for Culpepper, I’ll see what I can find out and let you know. Natalie
Thank you! Looking forward to the new episode with Mr Russell. I loved his book!
Thanks again.
