In my opinion Catherine Howard is the most mistreated woman who married into the British royal family. Do you agree or did anyone have it worse?

Catherine Howard was abused her whole life only to be married to a 49-year-old at 17-18 and then beheaded at 18-19. Knowing that she asked to practice laying her head on the block so she could be executed as painlessly as possible will always stick with me. I’d be interested to hear if anyone thinks any other woman had it worse or if Catherine’s experience takes the cake.
