Answer

King Henry VIII of England married six times - his main reason was to try and produce a son who would be the undisputed, male heir to the throne.

He did not, personally, kill any of his wives - the two wives who were executed, Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, were tried and convicted by a court of law.

What were Henry VIII parents called?

Henry VIII was the second son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. His elder brother, Arthur, Prince of Wales, died in 1502, leaving Henry as heir to the throne. Elizabeth of York, as the older sister of the Princes in the Tower, she had a better claim to the throne than Henry VII. Henry VII solved this problem by marring her and unting the Houses of Lancaster and York, as is shown in the Tudor rose. Elizabeth became the mother of Henry VIII.

the answer is Elisabeth of york is henrys mother and Elisabeth II is henrys mothers mum Elizabeth of York was the Queen of Henry VII, and the mother of Henry VIII. But the question is about Queen Elizabeth II, who is descended from Henry VIII 's father Henry VII and mother (Elizabeth of York) via their daughter Margaret who married into the Scottish royal family, then down through the Stuarts and successive Monarchs down to the present day. The confusion is that Elizabeth II 's parents were Duke and Duchess of York before becoming King and Queen, but they were never referred to simply as "of York".
