 * King Henry VIII gets married AGAIN!**

King Henry VIII had been married four times before, and he is getting married again for fifth time. This time it is Katherine Howard, cousin of Henry’s second wife, Anne Boleyn. As you probably already know his last marriage with Anne of Cleves only lasted six months. Anne of Cleves was chosen by King Henry without even meeting her, only seen her in a painting. When he saw her for first time, he did not like the way she looked. Anne of Cleves did not know who Henry was, so she ignored him.
 * Henry VIII is getting married again, for the fifth time, with the teenager Katherine Howard. The king himself is 49 years old!**
 * King Henry VIII Katherine Howard**

It is seventeen days since he divorced Anne of Cleves, and King Henry is getting married one of the very next days with Katherine Howard. Obviously King Henry knows how to charm a woman. This is his fifth wedding, but will it last or will there be a sixth wedding? Some of us would say that it seems like King Henry struggles with keeping a woman, or maybe he just gets tiered of them. After what we have heard, Katherine is only a teenager, and the King himself is 49 years old. People describe her as a lively, pretty and kind young girl, sounds like something our King will love.

His first wife was **Catherine of Aragon** and she gave birth to his first baby, Mary. But when he fell in love with Anne Boleyn the pope would not allow him to get a divorce, therefore he declared himself the head of a new Church of England, and then he granted himself a divorce. His second wife was **Anne Boleyn** who gave birth to Elizabeth, but as we all know, he accused her of meeting other men and chopped her head off. King Henry’s third wife was **Jane Seymour** that gave birth to Henry’s first son, Edward. He married Jane Seymour eleven days after Anne Boleyn was beheaded. Sadly for King Henry Jane died twelve days after giving birth to Edward. Henry waited two years before marrying again. When he was ready again he decided to look over whole Europe after a fourth wife, he saw a painting of **Anne of Cleves**, and then she was chosen. He was only married to Anne of Cleves for six months, and as you know he has found his fifth wife, Katherine Howard.
