	[No title]
		Henry's desire for a legitimate male heir prompted him in 1527 to appeal to Rome for an annulment on the grounds that the marriage had violated the biblical prohibition against a union between a man and his brother's widow.
		Henry was keenly disappointed, Anne being less attractive than he had been led to expect, and he soon came to resent her lack of sophistication and limited command of the English language.
		Henry VIII first became attracted to the young girl in 1540, when he was seeking to end his politically motivated marriage to Anne of Cleves, to whom Catherine was a maid of honour.

	Wives of Henry VIII - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The six wives (queens consort) of Henry VIII of England were, in order: Catherine of Aragon (divorced), Anne Boleyn (beheaded), Jane Seymour (died, childbirth fever), Anne of Cleves (annulled), Catherine Howard (beheaded), and Catherine Parr (survived him).
		Henry, then a devout Roman Catholic, sought the Pope's approval for an annulment on the grounds that the marriage was invalid because Catherine had first been his brother's wife.
		A mnemonic for the fates of Henry's wives is "divorced, beheaded, died—divorced, beheaded, survived".

		The wives, daughters and relatives of Henry VIII are better documented and biographied than most women of that, or, unfortunately, most time periods.
		The stories of the wives flowed nicely one into the other, and the interesting day-to-day details of their lives, things that might be of little interest to most biographers, were included.
		The wives, Henry and their children were shown, warts and all, with an emphasis on personal choices, and not the very real political underpinnings that are the emphasis of most books on Henry and his domestic comedies/tragedies.

	The Six Wives of Henry VIII, A New (I Hope) Perspective
		The history of the oft-married King Henry VIII of England is not the saga of unbridled lust, heedless egotism and thoughtless persecution which is often popularly depicted.
		Henry VIII evidently believed (or chose to believe, or chose to claim that he believed) that his overriding objective in marrying six times was the begetting of the male heir many were convinced was needed to ensure stability in England after the turmoil of the Wars of the Roses.
		Henry seems to have had a yearning for romance, instilled in him as a second son who was never destined to rule.

	Who were the Wives of Henry VIII?
		The six women who were sequentially married to King Henry VIII of England are often collectively referred to as “the wives of Henry VIII.” They are also known as the Queens consort, a reference to their position as powerless partners of the King.
		Henry VIII petitioned for an annulment from Rome, which was denied, so the king ordered a religious court in England to be the judge; in 1533, his marriage to Catherine of Aragon was annulled, and she died only three years later.
		This combination of traits led to Henry VIII's eventual dissatisfaction with the marriage, and charges of treason were concocted against her, causing her to be executed in 1536.
