Katherine Howard Quotes

“While the portrait was originally owned by the Howards, as the earls of Arundel, it is unlikely that this family would have retained a portrait of their notorious ancestress for in the wake of her execution, as with Anne Boleyn, they hastily dissociated themselves from Katherine and almost certainly destroyed any images of the queen which they had once owned.”
― Conor Byrne, Katherine Howard: A New History

“The fact that the portrait in the Buccleuch Collection was owned by Thomas Howard, a descendant of Queen Katherine, could lend support to the fact that the sitter was a Howard and, probably, the queen herself.”
