Katheryn Howard's Jewelry Collection



 
Certain jewels of sundry natures given by the King's Majesty unto Queen Katheryn, his most dearest wife at the time of the solemnization of Their Graces' marriages ...
 
The inventory, compiled by Nicholas Bristow, lists the treasure trove given to Katheryn, and later, the items 'taken by the King into his own hands' at her downfall in late 1541.
 
You can read what jewels Katheryn received, and what she gave to her stepdaughters, Princess Mary and Princess Elizabeth, in the summary in Letters and Papers, Henry VIII (go to 1389) by clicking here.
