The Tudor Court's Unapologetic Duchess (Women of Tudor Scandal #3)

EPILOGUE

Mary Seymour left no trace beyond the household accounts and correspondence that recorded her brief life and its uncertain end.

History has remembered Katherine Willoughby unevenly.

She is more often seen as a footnote to the men and queens who surrounded her than as a woman worth examining in her own right.

She appears in the margins of stories about Katherine Parr, the Grey sisters, and Charles Brandon’s storied marriage to a former Queen of France.

But the record she left behind tells the story of a woman who spent sixty-one years refusing to be merely an asset, an inheritance, or a footnote, however persistently the world around her tried to make her one.
