HENRY VIII GETS MARRIED FOR THE SIXTH TIME! (by Carla Llavador)

Catherine Parr has married with Henry VIII only some month after the execution of Catherine Howard, his last and fifth wife.

WHO WERE HIS OTHERS WIFES?
Catherine of Aragon was his first wife. She married Henry when he only was 18 years old. Before that, Catherine was the wife of Arthur, Henry´s brother but he had died.
Henry got divorced because Catherine didn´t give him any son, only one daughter.

After the divorce he married with Anne Bolena and they had a daughter. But when he got bored of her he accused her of been unfaithful and she was executed. This marriage only lasted 3 years.

The third wife of Henry was Jane Seymour. They married two weeks after Anne's death. With Jane, Henry could have a son but some days after the birth of the baby Jane died.

Anne of Cleves was a german princess and the fourth wife of Henry. They married five days after they meet. But this marriage didn’t work because Henry thought that she was absolutely repellent and because their likes were totally different.

His fifth wife was Catherine Howard, Anne Bolena´s cousin. She only was 19 years old and Henry was around the 50. She worked for Anne of Cleves when she was queen. Catherine and Henry were lovers for a long time and then they married sixteen days after the divorce with Anne of Cleves.
Some time after this, Henry accused Catherine of been unfaithful and she was executed.

And then some months after this he married  Catherine Parr, the current wife. How will it goes?
