How many people did king Henry the VIII behead?
There is no known definitive answer to this question; however, some historians estimate he ordered about 120 executions per month, most, but not all, beheading Using these figures the total number of deaths would exceed 54,000 over the course of his 38-year reign. Other estimates have been as high as 72,000. While possible, neither number can be confirmed.
In addition to executing criminals and enemies of the state, Henry VIII ordered two of his wives, Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard, to be beheaded, and is also rumored to have caused the death of many members of his own family and his personal servants.
It should be noted that the King was responsible for "judicial murders," which are executions carried out by order of the court or a sovereign head, not by Henry VIII himself.
I have talked to a specialised person in this sort of subject and has said 'he has killed an estimated number of about 165 people a month which through his 38- year reign comes to a total of about 55,000 but there has been an estimate of about 72,500 executions' Though two of these people beheaded were his wives Anne Boleyn and Cathrine Howard
