look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it.

she graciously received anne of cleves at court, refusing to let her bow to her. they were said to have danced together long after henry went to bed.

on one instance, henry gifted katherine with a ring and two dogs, and she immediately regifted them to anne of cleves

when she heard that margaret pole, countess of salisbury, lacked warm clothing while imprisoned in the tower of london, katherine sent her own dressmakers to make warm clothing for her. she paid for this out of her own purse.

she interceded on behalf of thomas wyatt, sir john wallop and john mason, convincing the king to pardon them instead of ordering their execution. thomas wyatt was well liked by the people, and executing him would have caused unrest, so it is likely that this was a political act as well (contrary to popular belief that katherine was stupid in terms of politics)

she granted her stepdaughter elizabeth the privileged place opposite to her during katherine’s first public dinner. she continually gifted her small items (which would have meant the world to an eight-year-old who was so ignored her governess had to personally write to the king to ask for money to keep her clothed)

she is documented to have granted land and homes to her servants

she gave her old friends from home prestigious court positions

she was just.. she was nice ok
