Tudor Queens

I'm very late with my trivia question this week. Sorry for that, if anyone noticed. I'm into historical fiction novels. One of my favorites is I, Elizabeth. Hence this week's question.

Name the wives of Henry VIII in order, and their fate. (hint: 1= Katherine of Aragon; divorced)

2=Anne Boleyn, beheaded; 3=Jane Seymour, died in Childbirth; 4=Anne of Cleaves, divorced; 5=Katerine Howard, beheaded; 6=Katherine Parr, outlived Henry

After Henry VIII died, his son Edward, son of Jane Seymour, became king. Then Jane Grey ruled for nine days but was ousted by Henry and Katherine of Aragon's duaghter Mary Tudor. When she died, Elizabeth I, daughter of Anne Boleyn became queen.

Something ironic: Anne Boleyn's sister Mary was Henry's mistress and had two children by him. One of the children was a boy. If he had just married her, he could have had his son.
