Eight years before her marriage to Henry in <strong>1509<\/strong>, Catherine was in fact married to Henry\u2019s older brother, <strong>Arthur<\/strong>, who died of sickness at just <strong>15<\/strong> years old. Together, Henry and Catherine had a daughter, <strong>Mary<\/strong> &#8211; but it was a <em>son<\/em> that Henry wanted. Frustrated that Catherine seemed unable to produce a male heir to the throne, Henry had their marriage annulled (cancelled) in <strong>1533<\/strong>. But there\u2019s more to the story, gang &#8211; towards the end of their marriage, Henry fell in love with one of Catherine\u2019s ladies-in-waiting (woman who assisted the queen) &#8211; <strong>Anne Boleyn<\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0.0px;\">2.

Together they had a daughter, Elizabeth &#8211; the future <strong>Queen Elizabeth I<\/strong>. But, still, it was a <em>son<\/em> &#8211; and future king of England &#8211;\u00a0that Henry wanted. Frustrated, he believed his marriage was cursed and that Anne was to blame. And so, he turned his affections to one of Anne\u2019s ladies-in-waiting, <strong>Jane Seymour<\/strong>. And Anne\u2019s fate? Following accusations of numerous crimes, including witchcraft and treason (plotting to kill the king), she was arrested and beheaded.

Unlike his previous wives, however, Jane never had a coronation and so was never crowned Queen of England. Some people believe this was because Henry wanted her to provide an heir to the throne first. And in <strong>October 1537<\/strong>, the time had finally come &#8211; Henry became the proud father of <strong>Prince Edward.<\/strong>\u00a0But the prince came at a price &#8211; Jane took ill and died just two weeks after the birth. She was buried in a tomb at <strong>Windsor Castle<\/strong>, and would later become the only one of Henry&#8217;s six wives to be buried with him.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">4.

But as time passed, the King and his ministers felt that England needed a foreign ally &#8211; and so the hunt for a new bride began! Henry sent a talented painter called <strong>Hans Holbein<\/strong> to Germany to paint portraits of the <strong>Duke of Cleves&#8217;<\/strong>\u00a0daughters, <strong>Anne<\/strong> and <strong>Amelia<\/strong>. Anne&#8217;s portrait pleased him, and arrangements were made for the pair to wed. But Anne&#8217;s arrival in England proved to be a bit of a disaster to say the least. Seeing her in person,\u00a0Henry took an instant dislike to Anne and, finding her ugly, referred to her as &#8220;The Mare of Flanders&#8221;. Poor Anne!\u00a0Too late to cancel, their wedding took place\u00a06 January 1540, only for the marriage to be annulled a few weeks later.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">5.

By the time they married in <strong>July 1540<\/strong>, Henry was 49 years old, overweight and unable to walk, and Kathryn a lively teenager. Delighted with his new wife, Henry is said to have spoilt Kathryn with gifts and called her his &#8220;rose without a thorn&#8221;. But trouble lay ahead for Kathryn &#8211; two years into their marriage, she was accused of being unfaithful to the king. Her fate..?

An educated woman who loved to learn new things, Catherine married Henry on <strong>12 July 1543<\/strong>. She proved to be a kind wife who looked after Henry in his sickness, and a good stepmother to the king&#8217;s three children, Mary, Elizabeth and Edward. But yes &#8211; you guessed it &#8211; she didn&#8217;t have it easy with Henry! Her interest in <strong>Protestantism<\/strong> (a new religious faith) made her enemies in court &#8211; enemies who tried to turn the king against her and have her arrested. Luckily for Catherine, she managed to convince Henry that she was loyal to him and his religion, and was spared execution. Phew! Henry died in <strong>1547<\/strong>, leaving Catherine widowed and free to marry her former love, Thomas Seymour.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Love reading\u00a0about Henry VIII wives?
