Which one of Henry VIII's wives is buried next to him?

After Jane's death, the king wore black for the next three months and did not remarry for three years (!). He even put on weight during his long widowerhood. Historians have speculated that she must have been Henry's favorite wife as she gave birth to a male heir. Henry was buried beside her, on his request, in the grave he had made for her.

I don't understand the reason for the thread that has developed here.....everyone is arguing about how others speak..... Which is not relevant really..... The English people tend to think the American version of English is a bit harsh, and that Germans speak in a hard and guttural manner for instance...... But there is absolutely no call to start arguments about it..... Let's celebrate our differences and not nit-pick at each other!

If England sucks and the accents are impossible to understand why do you have a picture of ex-British Prime Minister John Major next to your name?

6 wives. Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived.

Kat Frederick, There are regional variations in the way that English is spoken, however, the USA is the only place where the spelling of a word deviates from the original English, so, in spelling there is definitely American.

He might not have remarried for 3 years but he certainly wasn't "celibate" during that time!!

Jay Palmer, so are a large number of other people who cannot prove it with documentation. He was quite a philanderer.

I like Ben Totuous answer! The British since of humor rarely agrees with mine. But I believe they know their English in England.

British rock band Herman's Hermets did a song, "Henry VIII," that was memorable. Henry VIII had Ann Boleyn beheaded as dId he behead Sir Thomas More. When a man wants to remarry and he happens to be king of the realm, nothing and no one stands in his way. The movie, "A Man for All Seasons," features an Academy Award-winning performance by Paul Scofield as Thomas More.

I watched a bio on him on PBS. If my memory is right, it said she was the only one he loved.

I find the History surrounding the reign of Henry VIII. He was also an author, I highly recommend reading "The Love Letters of Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn: With Notes".
