Answer
King Henry VIII of England married six times - his main reason was to try and produce a son who would be the undisputed, male heir to the throne.
He did not, personally, kill any of his wives - the two wives who were executed, Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, were tried and convicted by a court of law.

∙ 15y agoHenry VIII killed his two wives, mainly because they were unfair towards him or he was not happy with them. He also killed the Duke of Suffolk and the Duke of Buckingham because they were rival claimants to the throne and were threats. He also killed Empson and Dudley, because they were his fathers, Henry VII's tax collectors, and he would gain popularity if he executed them.

∙ 6y agoHenry was haunted all of his life from the knowledge that the Tutor hold on the throne was a heartbeat from being lost. His father had won the crown from the York and his mother was Elizabeth of York so the York claim to the crown was strong. His mother's brother should have been king so the York factions kept plotting against the Tutor court to gain the crown. Henry needed a son and his wife who had married his brother Albert before his death was too old at 40 to give him the male heir so he began to look for a younger woman to replace her as queen. His killed his wives because they didn't provide him what he needed so he would accuse them of treason and adulterous affairs.
