wives of henry viii?

Answer 1

The wives (queens consort) of Henry VIII of England were:

1. Catherine of Aragon (December 16, 1485–January 7, 1536; Spanish: Catalina de Aragón) was Henry's first wife. After the death of Arthur, her first husband and Henry's brother, Henry took her as his wife. Catherine bore him a girl, Mary I, but no sons who survived past infancy. Henry, then a devout Roman Catholic, sought the Pope's approval for an annulment on the grounds that the marriage was invalid because Catherine had first been his brother's wife. The true reason was that she could not produce a male and he wished to marry Anne Boleyn. Despite receiving the pope's disapproval of an annulment, Henry went ahead and divorced Catherine by act of parliament ("Henry's Great Matter") in 1533. He then married Anne in 1533, despite being still married to Catherine in the eyes of the church. This led to the break from the Roman Catholic Church and the later establishment of the Church of England.

2. Anne Boleyn, Marchioness of Pembroke (1501 – May 19, 1536) was Henry's second wife and the mother of Elizabeth I of England. Born into the English aristocracy, Anne was educated in France from 1514 until 1521. Returning to England in 1522, she was one of Catherine's ladies-in-waiting. She caught the eye of Henry VIII who proposed marriage to her in 1527. An intellectual who believed in the Divine Right of Kings and certain aspects of the new Protestant religion, Anne played a major role in the English Reformation. She was crowned queen consort in 1533, but after the birth of Princess Elizabeth that same year she failed to successfully carry another pregnancy to term. She was falsely accused and convicted of adultery, incest, and treason in order that the King could marry someone else and produce a legitimate male heir; she was beheaded. Before her death, she joked that, "I heard say the executioner was very good, and I have a little neck."

3. Jane Seymour (c. mid-1508 — October 24, 1537) was Henry's third wife. He first became attracted to her while she was one of Anne Boleyn's ladies-in-waiting, and it is popularly believed she is the reason he disposed of Anne. She gave him his only male heir, later Edward VI, but died shortly after his birth of puerperal fever, or childbirth fever.

4. Anne of Cleves (September 22, 1515 - July 16, 1557) was Henry's fourth wife, for only six months in 1540, from January 6 to July 9. She also known as "The Mare of Flanders". She agreed to have an annullment, claiming the marriage had not been consummated, and she was given a generous settlement, including Hever Castle, former home of Henry's former in-laws the Boleyns. She was given the name "The King's Sister," and became a friend to him and his children.

5. Catherine Howard (1520/1525? - February 13, 1542) was Henry's fifth wife 1540-1542, sometimes known as "the rose without a thorn." After the annulment of the marriage, she was beheaded at the Tower of London. The night before, Catherine spent hours practising how to lay her head upon the block, and her last words were for mercy for her family and prayers for her soul. She was buried next to her cousin Anne Boleyn.

She has a special place in history as the most married queen of England, having had four husbands in all. After Henry's death, she married Thomas Seymour, uncle of Edward VI.
