Answer 2

The Six wives of Henry the Eighth. Don't ask me their names - well, Ann of Cleves was one of em' but as for the rest - who knows? I think only 2 or 3 actually had their heads cut off. Not sure what happened to the others. Mainly good King Henry wanted a son but failed to get one.

Answer 5

Henry the Eighth had six wives. His first was Cataline of Aragon, later called Catherine. She gave Henry only one surviving child, Mary Tudor, later Queen Mary I of England. When she didn't give Henry a surviving son, he pushed her aside for Nan Bullen, or Anne Boleyn. Anne was a velumptuous woman who used her sexuality to win Henry's heart. This, along with her quick temper, was a key to her downfall. She also failed in giving Henry a son. Instead, she bore Elizabeth, who later became one of the greatest monarchs in English history. After Anne was executed for "infidelity" with five men, including her own brother, Henry married Jane Seymour, who contrasted Anne's vampish style in every way. She gave birth to Henry's only legitamate son, Edward, then died of childbed fever. Next was Anne of Cleves, a German woman. Henry was enchanted by a painting, then when seeing her in person, decided he had been tricked, but married her anyway. Six months later, he had the marriage annulled. Next was Katherine Howard, a cousin of Anne Bolyen, and the second and last wife to be executed for infidelity. King Henry died while married to Catherine Parr, an older woman who cared for him until his death. Hope this helps!

Answer 8

He had 6 wives.
He was married to Katharine of Aragon for over 20 years before he had the marriage annulled on the basis that she was the widow of his brother and that marriage had been consummated. The child from that marriage was Mary I.
He then married Anne Boleyn, who lasted 3 years - the mother of Elizabeth I - who was beheaded for treason (allegedly having an affair).
He then married Jane Seymour, mother of Edward, his only son. She died.
He then married Anne of Cleves, on the strength of how she looked in a portrait. When the poor lady turned up in England, he described her as the Flemish Mare and promptly divorced her. However she continued to live here in state.
He then married Catherine Howard. She was beheaded.
Then Catherine Parr. She survived him and went on to happily marry someone else when he'd died.
