The six wives (queens consort) of Henry VIII of England were, in order: Catherine of Aragon (annulled), Anne Boleyn (annulled then beheaded), Jane Seymour (died, childbirth fever), Anne of Cleves (annulled), Catherine Howard (beheaded), and Catherine Parr. It is often noted that Catherine Parr "survived him"; in fact Anne of Cleves also survived the king and was the last of his queens to die. Of the six queens, Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour each gave Henry one child who survived infancy — two daughters and one son, all three of whom would eventually accede to the throne. They were King Edward VI, Queen Mary I and Queen Elizabeth I.

Theoretically however, Henry VIII only had two wives, as opposed to six in practice. Henry considered his marriage to Catherine of Aragon to be invalid when he appealed to the pope in Rome for a annulment after twenty years of marriage. Catherine refused to believe this and firmly believed that her marrige to Henry did count. Catherine failed to produce a son, instead suffering several miscarriages and stillbirths before having a healthy baby girl. It soon became the one absorbing object of the king's desires to secure a divorce from his wife, Catherine of Aragon, so he could marry Anne Boleyn. When it became clear that Pope Clement VII was unlikely to give the king an annulment, the breaking of the power of the Roman Catholic Church in England began.

Henry's second marriage to Anne Boleyn was also annulled on unknown grounds, perhaps to do with Henry's affair with her elder sister Mary Boleyn, conducted several years before he met Anne.

Jane Seymour, Henry's wife after Anne was executed, was a legally-binding marriage and Jane succeeded in producing a male heir (Edward) to the throne. She died of puerperal fever just days after giving birth to their son, but is often considered Henry's most favored wife since she was the mother of the heir and thus often appears painted posthumously in his family portraits.

Following her death, Henry planned to marry Anne of Cleves. Her portrait was deceiving, making her look more beautiful than she really was. Her pre-contracted marriage acted as the reason for annulment but he kept her in court as a lady-in-waiting and "sister to the king".

Catherine Howard, wife number 5, was found to be guilty of adultery and she was swiftly executed, and the marriage annulled.

Henry's last wife, Catherine Parr, was his second legally-binding marriage, although she outlived him. After Henry's death, Catherine went on to marry Jane Seymour's brother, Thomas Seymour, whom she reputedly had always loved.

Wives

Catherine of Aragon

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, a papal dispensation was obtained to enable her to marry Henry, though the marriage did not take place until after he came to the throne in 1509. Catherine bore him a daughter in 1516, 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. Henry had begun an affair with Anne Boleyn, who is said to have refused to become his mistress (Henry had already consummated an affair with and then dismissed Anne's sister (Mary Boleyn), and Anne wanted to avoid the same treatment). Despite the pope's refusal, Henry separated from Catherine in 1533. In the face of the Pope's continuing refusal to annul his marriage to Catherine, Henry ordered the highest church official in England, Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury to convene a court to rule on the status of his marriage to Catherine. On May 23, 1533, Cranmer ruled the marriage to Catherine null and void. On May 28, 1533 he pronounced the King legally married to Anne Boleyn (with whom Henry had already secretly exchanged wedding vows, probably in late January 1533). This led to the break from the Roman Catholic Church and the later establishment of the Church of England.

Anne Boleyn

2. Anne Boleyn (1501/1507–19 May 1536) was the second wife of Henry VIII of England and the mother of Elizabeth I of England. Henry's marriage to Anne, and her subsequent execution, made her a key player in the political and religious upheaval that was the start of the English Reformation. The daughter of Sir Thomas Boleyn and his wife, Lady Elizabeth Boleyn (born Lady Elizabeth Howard), Anne was of nobler birth than either Jane Seymour or Catherine Parr, two of Henry's later wives.

Anne Boleyn had Thomas Wolsey dismissed from public office and later had the Boleyn family's chaplain, Thomas Cranmer, appointed archbishop of Canterbury. In 1533, Henry and Anne went through a secret wedding service. She soon became pregnant and there was a second wedding service, which took place in London on 25 January 1533. On 23 May 1533, Cranmer declared the marriage of Henry and Catherine null and void. Five days later, Cranmer declared the marriage of Henry and Anne to be good and valid. Soon after, the pope launched sentences of excommunication against the king and the archbishop.

Although the evidence against her was unconvincing, Anne was beheaded on charges of adultery, incest, and high treason in 1536.

She has become known as "The Flanders Mare" because the king is said to have disliked her appearance. Her pre-contract of marriage with Francis, Duke of Lorraine, was cited as grounds for an annulment. Anne agreed to this, claiming that 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. She outlived both the king and his last two wives.

After being deprived of the title of Queen, she was beheaded at the Tower of London.

Miscellanea

A mnemonic for the fates of Henry's wives is "divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived". An alternate version is "King Henry the Eighth, to six wives he was wedded: One died, one survived, two divorced, two beheaded." Some may dub these as misleading doggerel, and that Henry was never technically divorced from any of his wives, rather that his marriages to them were annulled. Likewise four marriages — not two — "ended" in annulments, one could argue according to the technicalities of annulment, Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Anne of Cleves, and Catherine Howard were never his wives at all.
