Notes for Katherine Cary
2007, March: Here is a probably contemporary account of her and Francis’ children, possibly kept by her husband Francis and taken from a transcript of the handwritten notes on the inside front cover of Sir Francis Knollys's Latin dictionary:

In the article accompanying the ttranscript, Sally Varlow opines that this implies that some of the details mean that Katherine Cary was born during her mother’s affair with Henry VIII and was thus much more likely than thought to have been H VIII’s daughter.
