How many Tudor kings and queens were there?

Answer 1

There were three Tudor kings crowned and two Tudor queens. King Henry VII was the first Tudor king, followed by his son, King Henry VIII, followed by his only son (by Jane Seymore) King Edward VI, followed Henry's eldest daughter (by Katherine of Aragon), Queen Mary I (also known as "Bloody Mary"), and finally Henry's second daughter (by Anne Boleyn) Queen Elizabeth I. The Tudor dynasty died with Queen Elizabeth who never married and thus produced no heir.

Answer 2

Technically, all of them were queen, or at least Queen Consort, but only two were crowned (that we know of, his final wife may have been, but there is little evidence). Henry was married six times and there is a simple rhyme to help you remember their order.

Divorced, beheaded, died.

Divorced, beheaded, survived.

They started with Kathrine of Aragon whom was queen from 1509-1533. He divorced her, claiming their marriage was invalid, but the true reason was most likely that she had failed to bear him a son and he had become infatuated with his mistress, Anne Boleyn.

Anne Boleyn was queen from 1533 to 1536, when he had her beheaded on counts of treason, accusing her of everything from witchcraft to incest. This is, again, most likely due to a combination of her inability to provide him a son and the fact that she had embroiled him in a religious reform that threatened to tear his country apart.

Jane Seymore followed and she reigned as queen consort from 1536 (just 11 days after Queen Anne's beheading) until her death in 1537. A coronation was scheduled for her, but an outbreak of the plague in London prevented it. It is also possible that Henry, having learned his lesson a bit, was hoping for her to bear him a son before he had her officially crowned as his queen.

After Jane was Anne of Cleves, the first foreign princess since Cathrine of Aragon. Henry chose her without ever seeing or meeting her. It is likely that she was picked because his chief adviser hoped her country's stance with the reform religions would help influence the king who had become all but catholic again in the year's since Anne Boleyn's death. Their union would have given England an ally against their constant enemies of France and Rome. Henry, however, found he did not like her. He failed to consumate the marriage on their wedding night and the whole thing was annulled within a month.

Kathrine Howard, who had arrived at court at roughly the same time as Anne of Cleves, was Henry's next choice. There were married approx. 3 weeks after his annulment was finalized with rumors that she was pregnant with his child. Had she showed signs of pregnancy, a coronation would most certainly have followed. However, she reconnected with an old flame who had arrived at court. This proved disastrous as, two years after her marriage, she would be accused of treason for her adulterous affair. She was beheaded, like her cousin Anne Boleyn.

Henry's last wife was Kathrine Parr. It is unclear if she there was a coronation for her as Queen or not as she is continually referred to as both Queen Consort and Queen in several different documents. She was the only of Henry's wives to avoid divorce or death simply by virtue of outliving him.
