What did Henry VIII use to kill people?
He used executioners with big axes to cut the heads off those who he deemed necessary to be killed.He killed many wives this way, the most historical was AnneBoleyn.Actually, Henry VIII only executed two of his six wives: Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard. Anne was executed with a single sword stroke, not an axe, by a French executioner brought to England especially for this purpose. Catherine was beheaded by axe. FYI, Anne may well have been innocent of the charges trumped up against her. Catherine was certainly guilty, but one should remember that she was only 18 years old and full of youthful foolishness. Henry was much older, obese, and probably physically disgusting to her.

Why did Henry VIII cut of people's heads?
It wasn't just Henry VIII who did this, it was the standard method of execution in those days. Capital punishment was widely used in past Centuries, and right from Roman times up until the early 18th Century, beheading was the standard means of carrying it out. Henry VIII was a harsh ruler and sentenced many people to death on charges of treason or other major crimes, but the practice was not unique to him- many other monarchs both before and after him did the same thing. He had two of his wives beheaded on charges of treason- Anne Boleyn because she would not agree to divorce him and was said to be planning to poison both him and his third wife Jane Seymour (how much actual evidence there is for this is not clear, but there IS some reason to suppose that Anne was becoming mentally unbalanced in the year or so before she was put to death), and Katherine Howard, again on treason charges but this time related to adultery, which in those days was considered a treasonable offence for the consort of a reigning monarch. Although he was a 'bloody King', Henry did not always willingly sentence people to death- he was genuinely fond of his Chancellor, Thomas More, who opposed the creation of Henry's divorce laws so that the King could divorce Catherine of Aragon, and tried very hard to get Thomas to agree to them. It also has to be said that beheading is an extremely quick way of execution- that, along with being shot, is the quickest way to go. As soon as the base of the cerebral cortex is severed, death is instentaneous, and the victim was usually brain-dead before the axe had finished severing their neck. It is also so quick that it is pretty well painless.
