How many of Henry VIII's six wives did he have beheaded?
Henry VIII, King of England between 1509 and 1547, had "only" two of his six queens consort beheaded - Anne Boelyn and Catherine Howard.
The six women who were married to King Henry VIII were, in chronological order:
- Catherine of Aragon (marriage annulled; died of unknown causes while detained under guard at Kimbolton Castle; mother of Mary I)
- Anne Boleyn (beheaded; mother of Elizabeth I)
- Jane Seymour (died days after giving birth to Edward VI, believed to be caused by birth complications)
- Anne of Cleves (marriage annulled; outlived Henry and the rest of the Henry's wives)
- Catherine Howard (beheaded)

Henry's first marriage lasted nearly 24 years, while the remaining five totaled less than 10 years combined.
