Catherine of Aragon was married to Henry for 24 years. Henry
wanted a son but unfortunately she failed to give him one, she
gave birth to a daughter called Mary I. Catherine was born in
Spain. When there was a war in Spain, she had to move to
England. That’s when she met Henry and got married on June
11th 1509, at Greyfriars. Before Catherine married Henry, she
married King Arthur, Henry’s brother. She had a daughter called
Mary. However, her son died at still birth. When Henry was 12
he loved Catherine but could not marry until the age of 17. She
died of a broken heart because Henry fell in love with Anne
Boleyn.
Anne Boleyn
Anne Boleyn was married to Henry for 3 years. Henry loved Anne
whilst still married to Catherine of Aragon. He loved how Anne
was young, pretty and witty. They both used to send love letters
to each other. Anne was accused of killing her Uncle with the
use of witch craft. Jane Seymour was lady in waiting to Anne.
(this means she was a maid to her) Anne died by being
beheaded in the tower.
Jane
Seymour
Jane Seymour was married to Henry for 1 year. She was lady in
waiting to Anne Boleyn. Henry was attracted to Jane’s kindness
and that she was not as bossy as Anne. Henry made Anne’s
grave, therefore he truly cared for her. Jane had a park named
after her in Wales, it was called Park Seymour. She once
suffered from dihorrea. She also had a coronation (a special
ceremony to celebrate her reign as Queen) When she died,
Henry said she was his first true wife. Happily, Henry was buried
next to Jane when he died.
Anne of Cleves
Anne was married to Henry for 6 months. When Henry divorced her,
she didn’t want to leave England. Therefore she became Henry’s
beloved sister in name. Anne was born in Germany. Her father was
John III Duke Of Cleves and her mother was Mary Duchess of
Julich Berg. Anne’s brother William became the ruler after his
fathers death. Although Anne was very ugly, she did make some
English friends and she ordered an English wardrobe. She also
learnt many English words. Anne of Cleves died 8 weeks before her
birthday as she had Cancer.

because he wanted someone who would be faithful and he could live with.
