What King who killed his wives because they did not have boys?
King Henry the Eighth. He was married six times, only had 3 kids, one to three wives: Catherine of Aragon had Mary, Anne Boleyn had Elizabeth, and Jane Seymour had Edward. But your question is wrong; he killed two of his wives, Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard. He killed them because they were said to have relationships before and while married to the king. They were both beheaded. Jane Seymour, his most loving wife, died a couple of days after childbirth after having Edward VI. Henry was happy that he finally had a son, but sadly Edward died at the age of 15 of tuberculosis. So Henry had no male son to take over after he died, so the Tudors died out and the Stuarts reign. Here is a little poem of King Henry's wives: Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. DIVORCED: CATHERINE OF ARAGON - because she got too old to have a son. BEHEADED: ANNE BOLEYN - said to have relationships and to have an extra finger on one hand, meaning she was a witch. DIED: JANE SEYMOUR - died after childbirth DIVORCED: ANNE OF CLEVES - Henry thought she looked beautiful when he looked at a painting of her, but when he saw her, he said she looked fat. BEHEADED: CATHERINE HOWARD - had lots of relationships. SURVIVED: CATHERINE PARR - king Henry died before he could do anything to her.
