Walking along the stone halls of the keep, it’s all too easy to imagine Henry cajoling or persuasion on both women to be his queen. One wonders if Anne or Catherine (particularly the latter) willingly gave their consent, hemmed in as they were by their domineering uncle and the infamous monarch. Yet Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard’s grim fates did not lessen the family’s taste for court intrigue. The castle’s website said that “the fourth Duke was beheaded for plotting to marry Mary Queen of Scots”.
A glimpse of the main palace from the walls of the keep, along with the ornate design of its courtyard, made them a fitting backdrop for the family’s schemes. Yet his descendant Thomas Howard, the 14th Earl of Arundel or “The Collector Earl” steered the family away from politics to the arts in the 17th century.
