Queen Katherine died 1536.
She retired to Ampthill early in 1531 while her appeal to Rome was pending, and remained there till the summer of 1533.
Lace of the heavy Venetian point was already used for ecclesiastical purposes, though scarcely in general use. The earliest known pattern-books date from fifteen years previous to the death of Katherine (1536).
