The Fifth Queen: And How She Came to Court by Ford Madox Ford
"The Fifth Queen: And How She Came to Court" by Ford Madox Ford is a historical novel published in 1906. It opens a trilogy presenting a highly fictionalized account of Katharine Howard's arrival at Henry VIII's court. Ford reimagines the historical figure as a devout, learned Catholic noblewoman who navigates the dangerous political intrigues of Tudor England. Through impressionistic prose and invented Tudor-style dialogue, the novel follows Katharine's reluctant rise at court,
where calculating figures like Thomas Cromwell manipulate her path toward the king's attention. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
