This lock of hair reportedly beloning to English Queen Catherine Parr was recently auctioned off. Details of the auction are given in a BBC article. Here is a snippet:

An almost 500-year-old lock of hair thought to have come from one of Henry VIII's wives has sold for £2,160.

Its buyer, Charles Hudson, lives on the Wyke Manor estate in Worcestershire, which he said was once home to the hair's original owner, Catherine Parr.

The blonde hair, which is mounted in an oval frame, sold for almost 15 times the estimated price of £150.

Mr Hudson, 56, said he was "pleased to be able to bring it home". Catherine Parr outlived her Royal husband.

He added that Wyke Manor had been given to Catherine, Henry's sixth wife, as a present from her husband.

Mr Hudson said that after Catherine died, the estate passed to Anthony Babington, who was later executed for treason after plotting to kill Queen Elizabeth I.

The property then passed to Sir Walter Raleigh, who was also executed.

As a Tudor nut I would have paid far more ... that is if I had the cash to do so...sigh....

Catherine or in some accounts Katherine Parr was the last of the six wives of King Henry VIII. She was queen consort of England during 1543–1547, then dowager queen of England until her death due to complications of childbirth on September 5th 1548. She was 35 years of age.

An interesting story surrounds the discovery of Queen Catherine's body more than 200 years after her death.

In 1782, a gentleman by the name of John Locust discovered the coffin of Queen Catherine at the ruins of the Sudeley Castle chapel. He opened the coffin and observed that the body, after 234 years, was in a surprisingly good condition. Reportedly the flesh on one of her arms was still white and moist. After taking a few locks of her hair, he closed the coffin and returned it to the grave.

The coffin was opened a few more times in the next ten years and in 1792 some drunken men buried it upside down and in a rough way. When the coffin was officially reopened in 1817, nothing but a skeleton remained. Her remains were then moved to the tomb of Lord Chandos whose family owned the castle at that time. In later years the chapel was rebuilt by Sir John Scott and a proper altar-tomb was erected for Queen Catherine.

Perhaps that is where the lock of hair recently auctioned off came from?
