Henry VIII never beheaded anyone personally. Ann Bolyn and Catherine Howard were found guilty of treason by the authorities and beheaded in the Tower of London by the official executioner.

Catherine of Aragon
Anne Boleyn
Jane Seymour
Anne of Cleves
Catherine Howard
Catherine Parr.
Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard were tried, convicted and executed by beheading for treason and other offences.
Most historians believe that Anne Boleyn was completely innocent of the charges.
AnswerTwo - though, to be fair, he didn't actually do it himself. Both were executed for High Treason in the form of adultery, which was punishable by death for Queens and Princesses and their lovers. Anne Boleyn (Wife 2) was almost certainly innocent; but she had outlived her usefulness, having failed to produce a son, and Henry was now in love with Jane Seymour. Katherine Howard (Wife 5, and Anne's cousin) was certainly guilty.On the subject of beheading - Anne Boleyn was killed with a sword, in the hands of an executioner brought over from France at her own request. The French practitioners were more expert and professional. Katherine, however, suffered the traditional English axe-and-block procedure.
A simple way of remembering the fate of each of the six wives :
Divorced, beheaded, died
Divorced, beheaded, survived
The rhyme is convenient and very useful, but the first "Divorced" is a little more complicated. Catherine of Aragon, Henry's first wife and already a widower, had done nothing wrong and wanted to remain with Henry. This was essentially the 'test case' with the pope. Henry did not want to hurt Catherine but was desperate to marry again in order to produce an heir. Catherine and her Spanish relatives were not pleased with the thought of Catherine being publicly disgraced and humiliated. Henry asked the pope to annul the marriage but the pope refused. Henry then declared himself head of the church in England and had the marriage declared invalid, which is altogether different from divorce.

He had 2 of his wives beheaded. They were Anne Boleyn for false charges of family relations, witchcraft, adultery and conspiracy against the king and Catherine Howard because she had had affairs before their marriage and that she was having an affair with her cousin, Thomas Culpepper, Henry had her imprisoned and then beheaded for treason.
