Thomas Culpeper
Thomas Culpeper ( 1514 – 10 December 1541) was a courtier and close friend of Henry VIII, and related to two of his queens, Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard. He is known to have had many private meetings with Catherine after her marriage, though these may have involved political intrigue only, as the one letter she is known to have written him does not seem to suggest intimacy. But under torture, he confessed to adultery, and both were beheaded for treason.
==Early life==
Thomas Culpeper was the second of the three sons of Alexander Culpeper (d.1541) of Bedgebury, to the south of Maidstone in Kent, and his second wife, Constance Harper. His older brother, also named Thomas, was a client of Thomas Cromwell.〔Retha M. Warnicke, 'Katherine (Howard ) (1518x24–1542)', Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, Sept 2004〕 The brothers were known for collecting valuable items for the royal family during their time at court.〔Wagner, John A. Bosworth Field to Bloody Mary: An Encyclopedia of the Early Tudors. Westport, Connecticut: Greenwood Press, 2003.〕 He was distantly related to the Howard clan, who were immensely powerful at the time, being a distant cousin〔According to Culpepper Connections, The Culpepper Family History Site http://gen.culpepper.com/default.asp they were 7th cousins.〕 of Joyce Culpeper, Catherine Howard's mother. They were particularly influential after the fall of Cardinal Wolsey in 1529, and for a brief time under the reign of Anne Boleyn, who was one of their cousins.
