Which wives did henryviii kill?

Answer 1

They are all dead by now, but his first wife, Catherine of Aragon died of cancer after being banished by Henry. His second wife, Anne Boleyn, was beheaded by Henry himself. She was accused of treason,adultery, and incest.

His third wife,Jane Seymour , died of childbirth fever 10 days after she gave birth to Henrys only son. His fourth wife, Anne of Cleaves,divorced Henry and died a natural death. His fifth wife, Katherine Howard was beheaded on charges of adultery. His last wife, Katherine Parr, outlived him and as far as I know,died of old age.

Answer 2

The two wives of Henry VIII who were executed:

Second wife of Henry VIII:

Anne Boleyn (c1501-07 - 1536), who displaced Catherine of Aragon in Henry's affections, had also been unfortunate enough not be able to provide Henry VIII with a male heir, and was executed on conveniently trumped up charges of adultery, incest, witchcraft - all treasonable offences. She was beheaded by an expert French swordsman, ordered by Henry as a more merciful death, on 19 May 1536. Ironically her triumph was that she was the mother of a great monarch, Elizabeth I.

Fifth wife of Henry VIII:

Catherine Howard (c1520 - 1542) was much younger than Henry VIII (1491 - 1547). They married on 28 July 1540. She made the treasonable mistake of having an affair with a cousin of her mother's, Thomas Culpepper. When King Henry was given the details of her adultery, he is said to have cried, as he had always thought of Catherine as his "rose without a thorn". Catherine (a cousin of Anne Boleyn's) was beheaded on 13 February 1542, having asked for the block to be brought to her the night before, so that she could practice placing her head upon it.
