Late November 1541 was a traumatic and unbearable time for Henry VIII's fifth queen, Kathryn Howard. This is vividly brought to life in Alison Weir's book The Tainted Queen - the American title is The Scandalous Queen.
It’s said that when she was arrested at Hampton Court Palace, she broke free from the guards and ran to the doors of the Chapel Royal, where she believed Henry was at prayer.
Enjoy this little video of Siobhan Clarke, Guide Lecturer at Historic Royal Palaces/ AWT, a part of which recreates Catherine's flight down the gallery.
