I have so many arguments with my own mother about this! She always circles back to "well, she wasn't the sharpest knife if she thought playing away from the king was a good idea" and I'm always gobsmacked. I have to point out she was what, 17? Possibly even younger. Henry was much older, obese and probably smelled due to ulcers on his legs. I think film and TV adaptions have convinced everyone Henry was still hot at this point and they don't try to imagine how it would feel for a teenage girl to be in that situation.

That would annoy me so much! Catherine Howard was 17 or perhaps even younger than that when they were married, it wasn't a love match and Henry was already older and not in great physical shape and HELLO HE'D ALREADY BEHEADED HER COUSIN. Was she a genius? No. But from the sound of it, she was starved for love and attention as a child. It was a disaster in the making.
