In 1540 Henry VIII was getting old, and his eyes turned to teenager Catherine Howard.


He fell hard and fast for Catherine - his "rose without a thorn" - but when he found out about her past, all hell broke loose.


Amidst all the panic and confusion, who was this young woman who rose to be queen? Why did Henry VIII want her killed? And how should we remember her?


Joining Anthony and Maddy is author and historian Gareth Russell, to help us get to know this woman.


This episode was edited by Tim Arstall and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Freddy Chick.
