Henry VIII had many reasons for marrying so many times: to have a son and heir to the throne, to stay on good terms with other countries, to become richer and more powerful and to find someone to look after his children (as well as failing in love!). MEET HIS SIX WIVES!
Wife No I Catherine of Aragon When Henry became king at 18, he married Catherine of Aragon. She was the daughter of the King of Spain and the widow of Henrys elder brother Arthur. She was older and wiser than him and often gave him advice on how to rule. They were married for 18 years and had one daughter, Mary. But Henry wanted a son, an heir to his throne. He also fancied Anne Boleyn, so he decided to divorce Catherine. When the Pope refused to give him a divorce, he broke off his relations with Rome and made himself the head of a new Church of England. When Henry became king at 18, he married Catherine of Aragon.

Wife No 2 Anne Boleyn Henry married Anne Boleyn in She had a girl, Elizabeth, but no sons. Henry soon got fed up with Anne (it is said that she was really grumpy!), so he arrested her on charges of being a witch she had six fingers on her left hand. To be on the safe side he also accused her of meeting other men. In 1536 she was beheaded. Eleven days later Henry married his third wife.
Wife No 3 Jane Seymour Jane Seymour was one of Anne Boleyns ladies-in- waiting. She was from an old and noble family. She was gentle and modest and not grumpy like Anne. She gave birth to a sickly son in 1537, Edward, but died soon after. It is said that Jane was Henrys favourite wife and he waited two years before marrying again.
Wife No 4 Anne of Cleves Henry wanted another queen. He saw a picture of a German princess, Anne of Cleves, and decided to marry her without seeing her! But when he met her, Henry didnt fancy Anne at all. He is said to have called her a horse! He couldnt break his promise to marry her but their marriage only lasted six months. Henry actually became very fond of Anne after the divorce and they became good friends. Henry wanted another queen.

Wife No 5 Katherine Howard Katherine Howard was a cousin of Anne Boleyn and was only about 16 when she married Henry. (He was 49!) Very soon Henry found out that Catherine had been seeing other men, so he charged her with adultery and she was beheaded. The following year he married for the last time.

Wife No 6 Catherine Parr Catherine Parr was Henrys sixth and last wife. She had already been married twice before, but both her husbands had died. She was really in love with Thomas Seymour (Jane Seymours brother) but she was too scared to refuse the King (which was probably wise!). Henry was very very fat and ill by now and Catherine was as much a nurse as a wife. When Henry died in 1547, she quickly married Thomas Seymour (her fourth husband).
