   Your introductory comment, “[e]ach ended in divorce or the execution of the women,” is not correct. His third wife, Jane Seymour, died after giving birth to the future King Edward VI, and his sixth wife, Katherine Parr, survived him!

   It’s actually very easy to remember what became of Henry’s six wives: Divorced – Beheaded – Died, Divorced – Beheaded - Survived.

    @Weasler455 It is Divorced – Beheaded – Died, Divorced – Beheaded – Survived. The best way to remember is the silly song from Horrible History. I think that the video is in YouTube.

    Henry VIII-one of the biggest pieces of excrement to have ever walked this earth. I find it mind-boggling that someone in his court didn’t drive a knife through his black heart. Don’t you find it amazing the number of psychopaths that have ruled in human history?

    @TheAlitxu You are correct. I totally meant to write Anne of Cleves and for some reason wrote Howard. My bad!

    @MissLizaMay Not exactly. If you want to be 100% accurate, the re were 4 divorces or anullments, because he also divorced both Anne Boleyn & Catherine Howard before executing them. He did not want to execute an actual Queen of England, so he made sure that the marriages were anulled as you well said and that they lost their title.
    Traditionally the “Divorced” are Katherine of Aragon & Anne of Cleves, Anne Boleyn & Catherine Howard are under the category “Executed” only, to simplify matters.

    @TheAlitxu Actually there were 2 divorces (although he called them anullments) – Catherine of Aragon and Catherine Howard.

    Great treat, thanks. Laugton was ceratinly a gifted actor.
    Yus a comment. You say that the 5 marriages ended in divorce or execution, but in fact there was 1 divorce, 2 executions, 1 died of puerperal fever and 1 survived…
