wife. She was a widow
of Henry’s elder brother
– Arthur. She gave birth

wife. He married her in
1533 but the marriage
lasted only 3 years. She
gave birth to a daughter
Elizabeth, who became

give birth to a son. So
Henry accused her of
adultery and she was
beheaded outside the
Tower of London.

was the only woman
he really loved. He
married her ten days
after Ann’s execution.

Henry. Catherine, like
her cousin Anna
Boleyn, was also
imprisoned and

Catherine Parr
His sixth wife was clever
enough not to anger Henry
and she outlived him. She
had good relations with
Elizabeth and Edward, but
was hated by Mary, because
they had different religious
viewpoints. After Henry’s
death she married Tomas
Seymour, Jane’s brother.

January 1547 and was
crowned on 20 February at

Catholicism was reversed by her
successor and sister, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth I
She was Queen regnant of England
and Ireland from 1558 until her
death. Elizabeth was the fifth and last
monarch of the Tudor dynasty. Her
mother, Anne Boleyn, was executed
two and a half years after her birth,
and Elizabeth was declared
illegitimate. Her brother, Edward VI,
bequeathed the crown to Lady Jane
Grey, cutting his sisters out of the
succession. In 1558 Elizabeth
succeeded the Catholic Mary I.
Elizabeth was more moderate than
her father and siblings. After the short
reigns of Elizabeth's brother and
sister, her 44 years on the throne
provided welcome stability for the
kingdom and helped forge a sense of
national identity.
