Description
Lady Katherine Knollys: A Life Unacknowledged Born in 1524, Katherine Knollys was the first child of Mary Boleyn, who was having an affair with King Henry VIII. Despite being the king's daughter, Katherine's existence was largely unknown to him, yet she went on to hold significant positions at court. As maid of honour to both Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard, Katherine's life was marked by intrigue and politics. Katherine's personal life was also filled with drama, including her marriage to Francis Knollys at the age of 16. She went on to become the mother of several successful men and women at court, including Lettice Knollys, who created a scandal when she married Sir Robert Dudley. This book explores Katherine's life and times, shedding light on her fascinating relationship with Elizabeth I. Through her story, Sarah-Beth Watkins reveals a complex and intriguing figure, whose life was shaped by the politics and intrigue of the Tudor court.
