The MYSTERY and Website

The purpose of this website is to formulate and analyze the properties of a stained glass portrait we named "Katrain" as is shown here below and questioned on the right.

Through inheritance, the artwork came to us. For obvious reasons, we did a lot of research about the who, what, when and where. The amount of data became so vast that we crammed it into this website.

Queen Catherine Howard, the fifth wife of King Henry VIII of England has always been a controversial lady. From her short Queen tenure (July 1540 to November 1541) till her unduly demise, she is still mysterious.




NOTE: About ten years ago, the name of the fifth wife of King Henry the Eight was written as Catherine Howard. Interest in the Tudor dynasty has soared, mostly because of the TV Series “The Tudors” from the BBC. Catherine has now various spellings such as Katherine, Katheryn and Catherin. In Dutch it is Katrijn, pronounced "Katrain".
