Catherine Howard—young, charming, and dangerously close to the Tudor court—rose from relative obscurity to become Queen of England almost overnight. But how did she become Henry VIII’s fifth Queen… and why do we still not know exactly where her remains lie?

Well, stay with me and all will be revealed. Catherine’s reign would be one of the shortest in British history, ending not with a crown, but with an execution block inside the Tower of London.

In this video, we’re unraveling how she caught the eye of one of the most powerful—and volatile—kings in history, why her past became her downfall, and what happened after her death, including the eerie mystery surrounding her remains. Buried in an unmarked grave beneath the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula, her final resting place may be just steps away from another fallen queen… or not where we think at all.

So how does her story still haunt history nearly 500 years later? Once you see how the story unfolds, you’ll never look at the Tudor court the same way again.
