The first wife of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547):
The Spanish princess, who had previously been married to Henry's brother Arthur, Catherine of Aragon (1485 - 1536), was unable to provide Henry with a male heir; which he desperately wanted, despite six pregnancies and only one living daughter (Mary). After Henry became enamoured of Anne Boleyn, he decided to divorce Catherine in 1533 (they had married in 1509) and eventually had their marriage annulled. Henry used the excuse that Catherine had previously been married to his brother Arthur, even though Catherine had declared herself a virgin after Arthur died, and had special dispensation to marry Henry.
Her health went into decline and she died on 7 January 1536.

Did Henry VIII behead Catherine Parr?
No, Henry VIII's first wife was Katherine of Aragon and their marriage was annulled. The annullment was and remains controversial. He beheaded two of his six wives. You can remember the fates of the six wives by thinking of this: Divorced*, Beheaded, Died; Divorced, Beheaded, Survived. The first word 'divorced' may not be completely correct technically; Henry wanted the marriage ended because Katherine was not giving him a male heir. He finally forced an annulment, but 'divorced' makes the mnemonic work better. Just remember that Katherine of Aragon was a good and faithful wife to Henry, and was simply put aside by Henry as 'Dowager Princess of Wales' out of consideration for the fact that she had been briefly married to Henry's older deceased brother Arthur. [No, nothing to do with the Round Table business] The six wives were: Katherine of Aragon Anne Boleyn Jane Seymour Anne of Cleves Catherine Howard Catherine Parr, who survived him.
