  Notes	Howard, Catherine (1520?-42), queen consort of England (1540-42) as the fifth wife of King Henry VIII. She was a granddaughter of Thomas Howard, 2nd duke of Norfolk. Before Catherine was 20 years old, she had frequent meetings with Henry, arranged by Stephen Gardiner, bishop of Winchester. Henry divorced his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, on July 9, 1540, and married Catherine on July 28. In November 1541 she was accused of immoral conduct both before and during her marriage. She admitted to premarital relations, and her accusers produced witnesses to testify to her adultery. Two of her accused lovers were beheaded in December, and Parliament passed a bill of attainder against her. On February 13, 1542, she, too, was beheaded in the Tower of London.
