Description:
Queen Who was Left naked to rot and unburried for centuries | Thrilling Point<br/>Catherine of Valois died on the 3rd of January, 1437. Her corpse would be a macabre tourist attraction for centuries.<br/><br/>She was born in October, 1401. Catherine's father was King Charles VI of France. Her first husband, Henry V, was king of England, but it was her union with her second husband which would create a new dynasty.<br/><br/>Owain ap Maredudd ap Tudur⁠ — or Owen Tudor, as he's known today ⁠— was a Welsh household official of the widowed queen. They fell in love and contracted a scandalous marriage. Their sons would create the line of Tudor monarchs that ruled England for over a century.<br/><br/>But Catherine, the mother of that dynasty, would be oddly disgraced after her death, and the situation ignored by her descendants.
