Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Don't Google it!
We are back to get further into the Life of Katherine Howard, the scandelous fifth wife of Henry VIII, king of England. When we last left Katherine she had just moved to court to become a lady in waiting to the new Tudor queen, Anne of Cleves. But when the king realized he wasn't into his new queen, his eyes turned to Katherine. Who was like maybe 17 or 18.
He was 50. It's gross.
Before long, Katherine is the new queen and everything is going really, really well for her.
