Best Answer

Henry's fifth wife, Kathryn Howard, was married to Henry just 16 days after his divorce with Anne of Cleves on July 28th, 1540. Kathryn was 19 and Henry was 49, and it is said that their marriage cheered Henry greatly. Less than a year into the marriage, however, rumours of infidelity began and in November 1541 there was enough evidence against Kathryn to begin investigations. She was executed on Febuary 13th, 1542
