To remember the fate of Henry VIII's (1491 - 1547)six wives:
"Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived".
The six wives being:
1) Catherine of Aragon (1485 - 1536) - divorced (mother of Mary I)
2) Anne Boleyn (c1501-07 - 1536) - beheaded (mother of Elizabeth I)
3) Jane Seymour (c1504-09 - 1537) - died after childbirth (mother of Edward VI)
4) Anne of Cleves (1515 - 1557) - divorced
5) Catherine Howard (c1520 - 1542) - beheaded
6) Katherine Parr (c1512 - 1548) - outlived Henry, as he died in January 1547.
Divorce, Beheaded, Died Divorce, Beheaded and Survived.
I'm King Henry the eighth, and had six sorry wives, some may say I ruined their lives
Catherine of Arogan was one.
She failed to give me a son. I had to ask for divorce. That broke her poor heart of course.
Young Anne Boleyn she was two.
Had a daughter, best she could do.
I said she flirted with some other man. And off the chop went dear Anne.
Lovely Jane Seymour was three.
The love of a life for me. She gave me a son. Little Prince Ed. Then poor old Jane. Went and dropped dead
Divorced, Beheaded and died Divorced, beheaded and survived
I'm King Henry the eighth, and had six sorry wives; some might say I ruined their lives.
Anne of Cleves came at four and fell for the portrait I saw.
Then laid eyes on her face and cried, she's a horse. I must have another divorce.
Catherine Howard was five.
A Child of nineteen, so alive. She flirted with others, no way to behave. The axe sent cath to her grave.
Catherine Parr she was last.
By then all my best days were past. I lay on my death bed, at aged just fifty-five, lucky Catherine the last stayed alive.
