Howard Women Quiz

Our September talk from Catherine Brooks was on "The Advantageous Marriages of the Howards", so for this week's quiz I thought I'd test your knowledge of these marriages in this Howard Women quiz.

All the answers can be found in Catherine's excellent talk at https://www.tudorsociety.com/catherine-brooks-the-advantageous-marriages-of-the-howards-expert-talk/

Good luck!
