Yes, after less than two years of marriage.
Catherine Howard (c1520 - 1542) was Henry VIII's fifth wife, and a lot younger than Henry (1491 - 1547). Henry and Catherine were married on the day that Thomas Cromwell (Henry's chief minister who fell from grace) was executed, 28 July 1540. Catherine was a cousin of the ill fated Anne Boleyn (Henry's second wife, who was beheaded in 1536) and also a niece of the Duke of Norfolk. Henry was much in love and happy with her, but Catherine made the tragic mistake of having an adulterous affair with a cousin of her mother's, Thomas Culpepper, which was a treasonable offence. Henry had always seen Catherine as his "rose without a thorn", despite the ever growing gossip about her previous affairs which had taken place when she was younger. Henry was said to have sobbed when the awful evidence of the truth was brought to him.
Catherine was arrested, but was reported to have tried desperately to intercept Henry when he was coming out of mass at Hampton Court. She is said to have run screaming down a corridor but was stopped by guards. Her ghost is said to haunt that corridor.
She was eventually taken to the Tower of London on 10 February 1542. Due to be executed on the 13th, Catherine asked for the executioner's block to be brought to her cell so that she could practice putting her head upon it. On the 13th February 1542 she went to her death, which was mercifully over quickly. Her body was placed in the chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula at the Tower, to join that of her cousin Anne Boleyn.
Henry VIII married Katherine Parr, his last wife, on 12 July 1543, but she outlived him, as Henry died on 28 January 1547
