In this Patreon episode from Autumn 2021, Katy takes on Thomas Howard. This F-ing guy! Ugh, he's the worst.
Thomas Howard was born into a noble English family during the tumultuous Wars of the Roses. The young Howard was lucky to come out on the other end of the wars with his life. From there he built and built his career up to the highest point he could hope for.
Too bad on the way to such heights he abused and imprisoned a wife, put three nieces in the bed of the king which ended in two of them losing their lives (aka: Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard), threw a son and daughter under the bus and was just a massive snob in every way, shape and form.
In other words. This guy is the worst.
