475 years ago Catherine Howard, 5th wife of Henry VIII, was beheaded at the age of 18 or 19, on a charge of treason following an adulterous affair with Thomas Culpepper.

Her execution was followed by that of her Lady-in-waiting, Jane Boleyn, sister-in-law of Henry's second wife Anne, also on a charge of treason for facilitating Catherine's affair.

Culpepper, in an unusual display of clemency by Henry, was merely beheaded instead being hung, drawn and quartered. Softy.
