The third wife: Jane Seymour Cause of death: Death
Jane. Seymour
536 The day after Anne Bolin was beheaded, she replaced her as Queen of England. The queen successfully gave birth to a prince for Henry, which was later Edward VI , , but only two weeks after the child was born, she died of postpartum complications. After she was buried in St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle . Jane Seymour is the only queen who is funeral with the ritual of the queen among the six wives of Henry VIII .
(I won’t tell you in detail about this queen’s story, and there are three more to talk about it later to avoid the long article causing some readers to be tired of reading. Long live understanding.)
The fourth wife: The cause of Anne's death of Creeves: a good death
Jen. After Seymour's death, King Henry, who was already 48 years old, became increasingly haggard, obese, and had a lame legs and feet. He even wanted to find someone to accompany him. Wife who has finished the second half of her life.
48-year-old Henry VIII
painter Hans Holl came to Henry VIII's palace and recommended Princess Anne of Creeves to him. Henry VIII did not see Anne himself, but the graceful and beautiful face of this Princess Anne can still be seen from the portraits made by Hans.
Anne's portrait
But when Henry disguised himself and Creeves met Princess Anne, he was shocked. This person is completely different from the portraits made by the painter, and she is extremely ugly. she is like a mare. This is Henry's original words.
Anne in the movie and TV series, but for various reasons later, Henry still married her on January 6, 1540. But they had never completed the marriage. Shortly after getting married, Henry really felt that the two were not suitable to file for divorce, but in fact, it was mainly because he thought Anne was ugly.
Anne also accepted Henry's proposal considering the experiences of Henry's first wives.
After the divorce, Anne got a lot of servants and money, and Henry VIII was still very generous to her. Anne returned the wedding ring and gave the position of queen to her female servant Katherine Howard . Anne also got Herve Castle, the family home of her former ex-Queen Anne Boling, to become one of the richest women in England.
The fifth wife: Catherine Howard Cause of death: beheading
A few months after marrying Anne, Henry began to search for his new wife, as always, only looking for the people around him.
The wretched Henry
1541, Henry fell in love with a 17-year-old girl. Her name is Catherine Howard, and she is also the attendant of Queen Anne. Henry thinks that the young girl in front of him is young, innocent and innocent, like a delicate rose without thorns.

Just a few months later, Katherine became Henry's lover. Henry planned to make her the fifth wife, so the previous proposal to divorce Queen Anne.
In the same year, Henry married Catherine Howard, although she was not as pure as Henry thought she was a pure "virgin" ( is not popular, I am afraid that she will not pass the trial. Anyway, she broke in her early years)
Katherine soon discovered Marriage life is uninteresting. She was not really pregnant when she got married, and her husband's bloated figure was also annoying that he weighed 136 kilograms at the time, and his thigh wounds were more than 3. Moreover, after Henry had multiple wives, his sexual ability gradually faded.
541 After Katherine became increasingly negative about the king, she began to date the courtier Thomas Calpepper in private.
She also hired many old acquaintances. In particular, Henry Mannox hired as a court musician and Francis Dillem as a private secretary. And this Dillem was the lover who had a substantial marriage before she married Henry VIII, and Henry didn't know. However, all of this has resulted in disastrous consequences.
541, after the Northern Tour ended, a Protestant Reformer John Lassellus exposed Catherine's pre-marital experience. Lassellus's sister Mary Hall was the maid of the Duchess. In order to fight against the Howard family of the Catholic Church, he informed the Queen of "interference" to the then Archbishop of Canterbury and Henry's confidant Thomas Cranmai . After further investigation, a series of evidence was indeed found in a few days. includes confessions from Dilham and Calpepper after being tortured in Tower of London , as well as love letters written by Katherine to Calpepper.
On November 22, Katherine was stripped of her title of queen. Calpepper and Dillem were executed on December 10, 1541 in Tyburn, London.
542 On February 13, 2015, Katherine was executed. When she was sentenced, she gave a brief speech, saying that the verdict was just and fair, and asked for mercy for her family and prayed for the redemption of the soul. Her final words were: " I died as a queen, but I would rather die as Calpepper's wife."
I think there is a line in the song I recommended at the beginning that is very well written: "Just Because I fell in love with someone else, should I be executed? ”
The sixth wife: Catherine Parr Cause of death: death
Catherine Parr
After Catherine Howard's death, Henry VIII married him the last one Wife, Catherine Parr. She is the queen of England's marriages, and she has married twice before she married Henry.
Henry was over fifty years old at that time and no longer had the desire he had before. He just wanted to find a wife who could take care of her later years. Catherine Pal also learned that Henry's first wives suffered miserable experiences, and in her life with Henry, she acted more like the behavior that a virtuous wife should have. He even took care of Henry's little mother.
547 On January 28, 1547, Henry VIII finally died before Catherine Pal .
6 months later, Catherine Pal remarried Thomas Seymour and died of illness a year later. Like Jane Seymour, she died of mattress.
OK, this is the story of Henry VIII and his six wives. Let’s summarize Henry VIII’s “g Wife Madman ”. This person is not very capable and has a big temper. I was chaotic for my selfish desires and had a life of chaos. When I married Anne Bolin, I violated the crime of "bigambling" in my religious belief. and there were a lot of people I was afraid that I would not pass the trial, so I didn't write .
The Middle Ages were actually not as beautiful as imagined. There are dragons, knights, magic, elves and people's wonderful bad realms of life.
That period is very similar to India in the old period. They all pursue religion in a crazy way, and the proportion of the people with a huge difference is huge. The people's sanitation conditions are as poor as those in cities. The nightmare " Black Death " broke out in the Middle Ages. There are many "sex" lives that are unbearable to common sense.
is exhausted. This is the first time I have written such a long article. I guess some people don’t have the patience to read such long articles, but I am not the kind of author who likes to post articles in paragraphs, so long live understanding. Previous episodes have been stories of murderers, and I’m really not used to this episode.
