Kaye Mccall asked this question about
Katheryn Howard: The Scandalous Queen (Six Tudor Queens, #5):
Does anyone know why Ms. Weir spelled Katherine Howard's name "Katheryn"? I realize that in the sixteenth century, spelling was "all over the place," but I have never seen the Fifth Queen's name spelled this way.

Probably to distinguish her from the first Katherine, Queen Katherine of Aragon.
