Henry VIII was married to Catherine of Aragon for 23-years, 11-months, and 19-days when the marriage was annulled by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Catherine had become unable to bear any more children and Henry had become entranced with Anne Boleyn by this time. He went on to marry Anne Boleyn, who was beheaded, Jane Seymour, who died shortly after giving birth, Anne of Cleves, and the marriage was annulled after 6-months and 3-days. He then married Catherine Howard, who was executed, and Catherine Parr, who outlived him.

anne of cleves divorced Henry viii because he wanted a son and not a daughter. Henry VIII described Anne as a 'Flanders Mare': Not a nice way to think of the wife ! Henry claimed he had been misled about Anne's appearance. Hans Holbein (I think) painted a portrait of her that was, apparently, rather flattering. Henry didn't find Anne attractive and the marriage was annulled. After the annulment Anne remained in England and was referred to as the Royal Sister. An annulment is somewhat different to a divorce.
