About this ebook
Katherine Knollys was Mary Boleyn's first child, born in 1524 when Mary was having an affair with King Henry VIII. Katherine spent her life unacknowledged as the king's daughter, yet she was given prime appointments at court as maid of honour to both Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard. She married Francis Knollys when she was 16 and went on to become mother to many successful men and women at court including Lettice Knollys who created a scandal when she married Sir Robert Dudley, the queen's favourite. This fascinating book studies Katherine's life and times, including her intriguing relationship with Elizabeth I.

I can't even with this book. I'm on page 8, and the snarky remark about Showtimes series The Tudors is just glaring at me. That was obviously just for drama and did not claim to be historically accurate. Just saying. Also two sentences later, it is stated that Francois I was King Louis's son, and he must certainly was not. Heaven help me get to page 9...
