KING HENRY VIII’ s WIVES Made by: Kotina E.V. the  English teacher, school №6

Henry VIII had many reasons for marrying so many times: to have a son and heir to the throne, to stay on good terms other countries, to become richer and more powerful and to someone to look after his children (as well as falling in love!). with find MEET HIS SIX WIVES!

Wife Wife №1№1 Catherine of Catherine of Aragon Aragon                         When  Henry  became  king  at  18,  he  married  Catherine  of  Aragon.  She  was  the  daughter of the King of Spain and widow of  Henry’s 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.

Wife Wife №2№2 Anne Boleyn Anne Boleyn           Henry married Anne Boleyn in 1533.  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  later  Henry  beheaded.  Eleven  days  married his third wife.

WifeWife №3 №3 Jane Seymour Jane Seymour         Jane Seymour was one of Anne  Boleyn’s  ladies­in­waiting.  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  Henry’s  favourite  wife  and  he  waited  two  years  before  marrying  again.

Wife Wife №4№4 Anne of Cleves 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  didn’t  fancy  Anne  at  all.  He  is  said  to  have  called  her  a  horse!  He  couldn’t  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.

Wife Wife №5№5 Catherine Catherine Howard Howard          Catherine 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 changed her with  adultery  and  she  was  beheaded,  The  following  year  he  married  for  the last time.

Wife Wife №6№6 Catherine Parr Catherine Parr           Catherine Parr was Henry’s 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  Seymour’s  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    wife.  When  Henry  died  in  1547,  she  quickly  married  Thomas Seymour (her fourth husband).

There  is  a  little  rhyme  British  kids  learn  to  remember what happened to each of Henry’s wife: Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived
