Why did King George second want to establish south of the carolinas?
There was not a goal of 13 colonies. In fact, there were 32 colonies total. During the last two decades of the 16th century the English Crown granted various proprietors and chartered companies authority to establish colonies in America. These led to the creation of 12 colonies and in 1730 a group of government sponsored trustees established Georgia. Except for New Hampshire and Nova Scotia, both of which were started under direct supervision of the crown, these colonies were private ventures and not supervised by the English. Between 1624-1729 the majority of the colonies were made into royal provinces and this included the private colonies.

The Catholic Church does not permit divorce. Catholics in England did not recognize the divorce, and therefore viewed Henry VIII's marriage to Anne Boleyn as adultery.

Catherine Howard - Fifth wife of Henry VIII:
Catherine Howard (c1520 - 1542) was much younger than Henry VIII (1491 - 1547). They married on 28 July 1540. She made the treasonable mistake of having an affair with a cousin of her mother's, Thomas Culpepper. When King Henry was given the details of her adultery, he is said to have cried, as he had always thought of Catherine as his "rose without a thorn". Catherine (a cousin of Anne Boleyn's) was beheaded at the Tower of London on 13 February 1542, having asked for the block to be brought to her the night before, so that she could practice placing her head upon it.
Who was the first king of Ireland?
In terms of the temporal, this is debatable, as Irish genealogy stretches much further back than written records, which did not exist in Ireland before the time of Christ. The answer is therefore uncertain. The first High King of the entire island of Ireland of whose historiciity we can be totally certain was perhaps Niall Noigiallach (in English, Niall of the Nine Hostages) who ruled in the fifth century. There are numerous earlier kings listed in early Irish histories, but we cannot be certain of the accuracy of the accounts given of these kings. Niall Noigiallach is also said to have ruled parts of Britain, including the Irish colony which eventually conquered the whole of northern Britain and founded Scotland.
However it must be noted that the vast majority of Irish people, being Roman Catholic, adhere to the believe that Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary, is, was and always will be, the one and only Queen of Ireland.
