Katherine Howard 1

  • Born: Abt 1538
  • Marriage: Henry Berkeley
  • Died: 7 Apr 1596, Callowdon, Warwickshire, England aged about 58
  • Buried: 20 May 1596, Draper's Chapel, St. Michael's, Coventry, West Midlands, England

   Cause of her death was dropsy.

  General Notes:

In 1559 she was restored in blood from the effects of her father's attainder.

Gibbs records that she was inclined to "betake herself to the delights of youth and greatness... and was so good an archer at butts with the longbow, as her side, by her, was never the weaker. She kept commonly a cast or two of merlins, mewed in her own chamber to the detriment of her gowns and kirtles."


Katherine married Henry Berkeley. (Henry Berkeley was born on 26 Nov 1534 and died on 26 Nov 1613.)
