• Anne Boleyn (who was his wife in the period 1533-1536) was the main cause of the divorce with Catherine of Aregon, was then executed.
• Jane Seymour (who was his wife in the period 1536-1537) was his wife only for a year because she died.
• Anne of Cleves (who was his wife only in the year 1540) divorced as Catherine of Aregon did.
• Kathryn Howard (who was his wife in the period 1540-1542) was executed.
• Katherine Parr (who was his wife in the period 1543-1547) was finally his last wife because Henry VIII died in 1547, so Katherine Parr was widowed.
