The Fifth Queen Crowned
by Ford Madox Ford
This masterful performance of historical fiction focuses on Katherine Howard - intelligent, beautiful and sincere - who attracted the attention of Henry VIII and became his fifth queen. Corruption and fear permeate the royal palace, and dimly lit corridors vibrate with the intrigues of unscrupulous courtiers thirsting for power. Katherine soon finds herself embroiled in a brutal battle with Thomas Cromwell, the Lord of the Secret Seal, as she fights for political and religious change.
