Catherine was born in Alexandria, Egyot, late in the third century. She was beheaded about the year 305 AD in Alexandria.
According to legend, St. Catherine of Alexandria was beheaded in 305 CE, in Alexandria. However, we can not even be sure whether Catherine of Alexandria actually existed.St. Catherine was never mentioned before the ninth century, and some assiduous research has failed to identify Catherine with any historical person. Donald Attwater calls the story of St. Catherine the most preposterous legend of its kind, citing the lack of any positive evidence that she ever existed outside the mind of some Greek writer who first composed what he intended to be simply an edifying romance. Even her name, which comes from the Greek katharos, ('pure'), is suspiciously apt for a virgin martyr, raising the possibility that her legend originated as an allegory. With no reliable information about St. Catherine, we can not say that any of the traditions about how or when she died are true.
Catherine of Aragon was the first wife of Henry VIII. This marriage was annulled by the king in 1533.
Henry VIII had a total of four marriages annulled. First, he annulled his marriage to Catherine of Aragon in 1533. Henry VIII then had his marriage to Anne Boleyn annulled in May of 1536. Next, he annulled his marriage to Anne of Cleves in 1540. Henry's final marriage annulment occured in 1542, dissolving his marriage to Catherine Howard.
He did not divorce any of his wives. His marriage to his 4th wife; Anne of Cleves, was annulled. His marriage to Catherine of Aragon was annulled by Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury. This marriage was annulled after the Pope continued to delay giving Henry an answer to his petition for an annulment of his marriage with Catherine. He then broke from Rome, and created the Church of England.

Second - Ann Boleyn marriage annulled and later was executedFifth - Catherine Howard marriage annulled and later was executed
Henry wanted an annulment granted, as when he realised Catherine of Aragon could not provide him with a son (he wanted a male heir to the throne), he wanted rid! The reason he came up with was that their marriage was not legal in the first place, as in the bible it says something like THOU SHALT NOT TAKE YOUR BROTHERS WIFE..... well, this is the reasoning Henry used.
