King Henry VIII of England is known for having had two of his wives executed primarily due to the pressure to produce a male heir. His second wife, Anne Boleyn, was executed in 1536 after being charged with treason, adultery, and incest, while his fifth wife, Catherine Howard, was also executed on charges of adultery in 1542. Henry's desperation for a son ultimately led to significant political and religious upheaval in England, including the establishment of the Church of England.
