On the 13th February (today) 1542, Kathryn Howard was executed- 13th February is my birthday and I always say a prayer for her, and i was wondering who else's birthday is on days where somebody got executed?

Thanks :)

Happy Birthday QueenAnneBoleyn

I know that you can buy cards that tell you which celebrities you share your birthday with and also what monumental occasions took place on that day. I have never heard of one telling you " and executed on this day was .................... I guess they do not imagine it would be something that you would want to think about on your birthday. I don't know of one offhand that shares mine on 25th November, but there are almost certainly going to be some.

Best wishes QueenAnneBoleyn.

I suppose it might be a little depressing although I've seen those cards and some of them mention wars and disasters.

Thank you so much!

I did feel a bit depressed actually, I was a bit tearful this morning. I don't think i would be able to cope if my birthday was on the 19th May!

I found this website, if you're interested Royalfalcon.

Lady Rochford was also executed, straight after Katherine Howard (contrary to what The Tudors showed).

RIP Katherine and Jane

Yes, it was usual for the most senior ranked person to be executed first.

I think they switched it in the show in order to get that ghoulish image of young Katherine laying her head on a bloody block. It was quite effective, if untrue.

Happy Birthday to QueenAnneBoleyn.

My claim to a Tudor connection is that I share a birthday with Anne of Cleves: Sept 22

My claim according to that site QueenAnneBoleyn suggested is that Mary Boleyn died (don't know how concrete that is), Jane Grey's reign was ended and the Mary Rose Sank all on the 19th of July.

At least I don't have anything sad to think of on my birthday. Except for getting a year older of course. ;) Do you find this valuable?
