Discussion: Katherine Howard's portrayal this season?

"When you look at the portrait of Katherine Howard(if that is the real K),she does have an appealing look;so it would be understandable for Henry to fall in love with her. Also,while Jane might not have been the scholars QKof A and Anne Boleyn were,she had a strong family upbringing and strong in the Catholic faith. Certainly Katherine H. had none of that,and I am not knocking Katherine H. for that. Just the actress(and this is nothing against the actress herself) but the role Hirst chose her to play. I felt they did an injustice to the KH playing her quite so loose and dumb. I could see KH as a pretty girl who is out of her depth,welcomes the flattery and other perks a Queen receives,but knowing nothing else except having a good time. At court,flirtations went on all the time,but under manners and expected behavior. But,never a Queen!!"

"I don't think there's a question that in real life Katherine Howard was sexually promiscuous, both before and after the marriage. I have read nothing that suggests otherwise. Not a judgment, just a fact. "
