step of the way, whether by reading excerpts of the book, offering advice, or providing more general support and friendship in trying circumstances. My family have also proven to be very interested in the project and have fully supported my endeavours. I thank them with love for all that they do. My mission throughout was to (as far as was possible) discover the historical Katherine, placing her in her appropriate social, cultural and political environment in order to render as accurate and enriching an interpretation as possible. I hope that I have done so, for it is high time that the real circumstances of her life be made available. Of course, any errors, omissions and mistakes are entirely my own. To anyone else that I have forgotten to thank and acknowledge, I thank you for your support and assistance.
Author Biography
Conor Byrne , author of “Katherine Howard: A New History” is a British undergraduate studying History at the University of Exeter.
Conor has been fascinated by the Tudors, medieval and early modern history from the age of eleven, particularly the lives of European kings and queens. His research into Katherine Howard, fifth consort of Henry VIII of England, began in 2011-12, and his first extended essay on her, related to the subject of her downfall in 1541-2, was written for an Oxford University competition. Since then Conor has embarked on a full-length study of qyeen Katharine’s career, encompassing original research and drawing on extended reading into sixteenth-century gender, sexuality and honour. Some of the conclusions reached are controversial and likely to spark considerable debate, but Conor hopes for a thorough reassessment of Katherine Howard’s life.
Conor runs a historical blog which explores a diverse range of historical topics and issues. He is also interested in modern European, Russian, and African history, and, more broadly, researches the lives of medieval queens, including current research into the defamed ‘she-wolf’ bride of Edward II, Isabella of France.
