I would advise her not to marry George but if she can't get out of it to make an effort. If it was you who testified that your husband had sex with his sister don't do it. If it was someone else say that you don't believe it. Plead ignorance about the other charges but emphasise that you are not close to the people in question. Convince Katherine Howard that having an affair would be a really, really bad idea. Don't beat yourself up about not being able to have children and try not to grow bitter.

"Last year, Julia Fox wrote the only book I have ever seen about Jane Boleyn. The records on her are sparse until the Catherine Howard affair, and what there is on the Boleyn trials does not show her as a vindictive wife. There is also a section on the poshumous vilification of Jane the beginnings of which can be traced to John Foxe who painted Anne Boleyn and her brother as Protestant martyrs.in a marginal note to his "Actes(sic) and Monuments" 1576 edition in which he accuses Jane of writing a malicous letter in which she accuses George and Anne of incest. Fox goes in depth in her Epilogue to explain why this was the malicious letter was unlikely. Fox is a meticulous researcher who has scoured period documents and the only author to devote an entire book to Jane Boleyn who was, after all, really a relatively minor character in the Tudor court. Much of her early life is undocumented and therefore based on speculation. Her father, Lord Morely, was of Roman Catholic sympathies although he stayed quiet about them during the Boleyn years.
And Jane was sent to the Tower only for abetting Catherine Howard. She was interrogated during the Boleyn trials. It is probably then that she was induced or tricked into mentioning the King's doubtful virility.
As for why she helped Catherine, it was a no-win situation. If she had gone to the King, he might not have believed her. He was reluctant to believe what Cranmer told him and Jane was a mere lady in waiting. If she refused a direct order from the Queen, she would probably have lost her place at court. ...and then there was that family connection and probable loyalty. "

I believe I read here in another thread that Alison Weir did actually write a book about Jane Boleyn. Once I find the thread, I'll be able to give the title listed.
