In 1541, Queen Katherine Howard was brought here under house arrest after her downfall, stripped of her title while the case against her unfolded. A decade later, in July 1553, Lady Jane Grey was summoned to Syon and told she had been named Edward VI’s heir - the moment she learned she was to be queen. Today, the house holds on

Episode 5: Well, Catholic propaganda certainly made a meal of this… (just like the dogs did of Henry’s body!) After Henry VIII shut down monasteries and abandoned his first queen, Katharine of Aragon, his enemies recalled an ominous prophecy: that, like the wicked King Ahab of the Bible, Henry would be eaten by dogs as punishment.

And this murder would haunt Lady Bette’s name for the rest of her life. To understand Lady Bette, you must step inside the glittering world of the Restoration court of Charles II, a court famed for decadence, wit and danger. This was an age when fortunes were lost at the gaming tables overnight, when royal mistresses held power to rival ministers, and when a young heiress like Lady Bette was seen as both prey… and prize. Yet against the expectations of her world, and the scandals that surrounded
