The Resume

(1521-February 13, 1542)
Fifth wife of King Henry VIII (married July 28, 1540)
First cousin of Anne Boleyn (King Henry VIII's second wife)
Beheaded for treason

Why she might be annoying:

She was sexually active by age 12.
King Henry VIII had a major woody for her. He had his way with her while still married to fourth wife Anne of Cleves.
King Henry VIII married her 16 days after his annulment from Anne of Cleves.
She was a teenager who married a man about 30 years older than herself.
She was repulsed by his obese appearance and took a young lover, Thomas Culpepper.
A love letter she wrote to Culpepper was discovered. In those times for a queen to commit adultery was an act of treason - she was convicted and sentenced to death.

Why she might not be annoying:

An uncle forced her to become a lady-in-waiting of the king to improve his own social status.
She was betrayed by a close companion who was jealous of her and the power held by her family.
She practiced laying her head down properly so she could be put to death swiftly.
On the day of her execution, she was led past London Bridge where she could view the heads of Culpepper and an earlier liaison, previously executed, on display.
Her family, fearful of the king's wrath, promptly removed her portrait from the family gallery after her execution and took a 'Catherine who?' attitude.
