Henry's second wife, Anne Boleyn, and his fifth wife, Catherine Howard, were cousins through Anne's mother and Catherine's father. Ironically, both captured the king's attention while he was married to a more dowdy wife, both were good musicians, and both were beheaded for treason in the form of adultery. However Anne's execution was to get her out of the way, and Catherine's was when Henry found out about her previous boyfriends.
