Anne Boleyn was executed because of claims that she was unfaithful, which she was found guilty of but it was very likely that she was innocent of the claims. Henry was also in love with Jane Seymour and probably sentanced Anne to death just to get rid of her. Katherine Howard was a lot younger than King Henry and was also first cousins of Anne (but they never met). Katherine was also killed because there were claims that she was unfaithful to the King.

∙ 12y agoCatherine Parr, Henry VIII's last (6th) wife, was not beheaded. She outlived Henry.
Anne Boleyn, his second wife, was killed under the guise of adultry- which to this day is questioned with good cause. Of the eleven dates she was officially convicted for; (meaning witnesses testified seeing her have sex with other men); it later came to light on seven of them, court documents showed she had actually been in progress or out of the country with Henry.
The likely cause of her death was discontent of the peole, for her replacing Catherine of Aragon; a much loved and Catholic woman. Anne ushered in an age of Protestantism, in an attempt to release the people form the opressive bonds and superstitions of the catholic church. When she did not bear Henry any male children, Henry found reason to leave her.
Three wives later, Henry married Anne Boleyn's cousin; a fifteen year old girl named Katherine Howard. She was beheaded for adultry as well; though her dalliances are believed to be true, for she admitted as much.
