John the Baptist insulted Solomes mother (called her a harlot)because she married her brother-in-law when she became widowed. King Herod was interested in the teachings of John and refused to do anything about the insult

That is not exactly ho it happen. Herodias who was Herod's brother's wife was also Herod's lover. John had spoke out about this straight to Herod's face. This ticked off Herodias and John became her enemy. So then Herod is having this large party and Herodias' daughter dances for him and Herod offers her anything. So the daughter goes and asks her mother what she should ask for. Herodias then tells her that she wants John's head on a platter. That is what brought about John the Baptist's death.

Her stepfather, the king, promised her anything she wanted, up to half his kingdom. She was also being prompted by her mother to ask for the head of John on a platter.

Like all Biblical women - who are wicked temptresses - she was trying to give onlookers the horn.
