King Henry VIII had 6 wives. They either divorced, beheaded, died or survived.
The first wife to King Henry VIII was Catherine The Arragon. She got divorced as she was too old and had a daughter, not a son. Henry the VIII wanted a son to carry on the era of tudors so he divorced her. Catherine the Arragon's daughter was named Mary.

The second wife to King Henry VIII was Anne Boleyn. Unfortunately she got beheaded as she had a daughter. King Henry VIII was not pleased because he already had a daughter, Mary. He used a specially trained french swordman to chop Anne Boleyn's head off.

The third wife to King Henry was Jane Seymour. She finally gave him a son, who he named Prince Edward. Although King Henry was pleased, she died whilst giving birth.

The fourth wife to King Henry VIII was Anne of Cleeves. He fell for the portrait he saw of her. However when they met she turned out to be from a different language. King Henry VIII called her a horse and their marriage only lasted for 6 months. He divorced her because of her 'looks'. He thought that she looked ugly.

The fifth wife to King Henry VIII was Catherine Howard. He beheaded her because she flirted with other men. Some people believe he did the right thing.

The sixth wife to King Henry VIII was Catherine Parr. Soon, King Henry VIII died, but Catherine Parr the last wife managed to stay alive.

A fact : The fact is King Henry VIII had 11 children. However they died as babies and only 3 survived.

This was very helpful to me. But I think that they should have not included that much information. Therefore I have mixed feelings.

In order of marriage:

Catherine of Aragon was divorced

Anne Boleyn was beheaded

Jane Seymour died in childbirth

Anne of Cleves was divorced

Katherine Howard was beheaded

Catherine Parr died after Henry

I remember this simple rhyme:

Divorced, beheaded, died.

Divorced, beheaded, survived!

It depends which two you are referring to.

Two of his wives were executed, two marriages were annulled, one died and one outlived him.
