	Primary Sources - Letter of Queen Catherine Howard to Master Thomas Culpeper, spring 1541
		It was a treasonable offense, and he was executed for it (along with Francis Dereham.) Culpeper tried to save himself by arguing that he had met with Catherine only because the young queen was 'dying of love for him', and would not let him end the relationship.
		Catherine, for her part, argued otherwise; she told her interrogators that Culpeper ceaselessly begged for a meeting and she was too fearful to refuse.
		The affection she felt for Culpeper led to a legend surrounding Catherine's last words - 'I die a Queen, but would rather die the wife of Culpeper.' This final declaration of love did not occur; its invention was an attempt to give Catherine's pathetic and tragic story some mark of distinction.
