10. No Matter Who He Married, King Henry VIII Had A Bad Wedding and Marriage

Not only is King Henry VIII of England known for the phrase “off with her head” when discussing his many wives, but he is also known to have held many terrible weddings. While there is no specific information on the details of his weddings, we do know that his marriages ended in disaster so his weddings could have easily been the same. During his first marriage, Henry VIII triggered the English Reformation by breaking the thousand-year alliance with the Catholic Church. Of course, his most famous marriage was his second marriage to Anne Boleyn, which ended with her beheading.

His next marriages were no different. King Henry VIII’s third wife died while giving birth. He married a fourth time; however, this marriage was very short lived because he began to find her gross and called for a divorce less than a year later. When it came to his fifth wife, who was a cousin to his second wife, met the same fate as his second wife. However, his last marriage, which was his sixth to Catherine, ended in his death.
