q) The whole basis seems to be that they reckon it looks like another portrait( a different miniature by a different artist), which they also reckon is Katherine Howard, which it isn’t, and doesn’t. The other portrait is dated by others to 1535 (when Katherine was 12) and ironically the woman in it looks a bit like David Starkey and really nothing like the woman in this portrait.
I mean, I nearly think they had to be talking about the other miniature, because those two do kind of look alike. But every report I’ve seen (haven’t seen the original study) says it’s the blatantly different woman shown here. Attribution is on the source pages.
q2) Fraser, A Six Wives p316 Weir, Alison, Henry VIII, p443 (and others) quoting Letters and papers Vol 16 3rd September 1540, Item 12 (sadly the description is truncated in the digitized version, – I mean who would really want to know what Katherine Howard looked like? with an etcetera, still these historians got to see the originals and they all say more or less the same thing went in that etcetera, petite with a sweet expression)
The Rose without a Thorn
5) Well, start with Wikipedia, where the coin is known as the ‘Crown of the rose’. The Anne Boleyn files has a pretty good record of their search for the truth. That it referred to Katherine Howard was a misinterpretation made by Agnes Strickland in the 19th century, and in the modern popular historians (90s/00s), Fraser got it wrong, Weir got it wrong, Starkey got it right (again).

- From Young and Damned and Fair p69, and The Last Days of Henry VIII p46, (Burnet, G, History of the reformation p?) But finding the source was problematic until I got to The Anne Boleyn Files, which quoted it more fully and gave a link to the online source (Volume 4, p504-505)
2) Burnet’s History of the Reformation Vol 4 (copy of Catherine Howard’s confession Vol 4 p504)

Letters and Papers Vol 16, 5th November 1541, Item 1320 (Mary Hall – nee Lascelles)
4) One of those lines that gets quoted in a lot of histories, in quotation marks quite often too, but it’s just not important enough to get an attribution or a footnote. All except Spartacus Educational which seems to claim it’s from Mary Hall (Lascelles) and Cranmer’s initital investigation.
A lot of the juicer or just more personal stuff from the investigations stayed in the state papers archive in Kew, rather than getting digitized, so it;s probably in there somewhere it’s just not immediately accessible.

Master Culpeper,
I heartily recommend me unto you, praying you to send me word how that you do.
It was showed me that you was sick, the which thing troubled me very much till such time that I hear from you praying you to send me word how that you do, for I never longed so much for a thing as I do to see you and speak with you, the which I trust shall be shortly now.
That which doth comfortly me very much when I think of it, and when I think again that you shall depart from me again it makes my heart to die to think what fortune I have that I cannot always be in your company.
Yet my trust is always in you that you will be as you have promised me, and in that hope I trust upon still, praying you that you will come when my Lady Rochford is here for then I shall be best at leisure to be at your commandment, thanking you for that you have promised me to be so good unto that poor fellow my man which is one of the griefs that I do feel to depart from him for then I do know no one that I dare trust to send to you, and therefore I pray you take him to be with you that I may sometime hear from you one thing.
I pray you to give me a horse for my man for I had much ado to get one and therefore I pray send me one by him and in so doing I am as I said afor, and thus I take my leave of you, trusting to see you shortly again and I would you was with me now that you might see what pain I take in writing to you.
Yours as long as life endures,
Katheryn.
One thing I had forgot and that is to instruct my man to tarry here with me still for he says whatsomever you bid him he will do it.
