19 Catherine Howard "Rose without a thorn"
The reason King Henry VIII married his fifth wife, Catherine Howard, was for lust and the infatuation of an old man. Catherine was very young and pretty - his 'rose without a thorn' - wrong again!

20 Katherine Parr To Be Useful in All Than I Do
Born: 1512 Married: 12 July 1543 Widowed: 28 January 1547 Died: 5 September 1548 Attentive stepmother, a caring nurse, a faithful companion. No children

21 Katherine Parr "most dearly and most entirely beloved wife"

22 CONCLUSION HENRY the VIII of England, seen here with his six wives, from left to right, Katherine of Aragon, Ann Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Katherine Parr. Unlike Henry, the real Henry did not have all his wives at once. (His wives might have been happier if he had, considering that two of them were beheaded.)
