An Overview of King Henry VIII's Six Wives

If you're at all familiar with English history, you've probably heard of the infamous King Henry VIII and his many wives. In total, Henry VIII married six different women: Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr. Over the course of history, these women have come to be seen as powerful, important, and complex figures in their own right, so the queen who fits your personality best reveals quite a bit about who you are as a person! Here are your possible results and what they say about you:


Catherine of Aragon
Like Henry's first wife, you are kind and loyal. You put your family and friends before everything else, and you've got a super strong moral compass that you stick to, no matter what. Your faithfulness and devoutness–even in the face of Henry's, ahem, bad behavior—is one of the things people remember most about you. Despite life's many challenges, you remain resilient and strong, and you always make it out of sticky situations even tougher and more sure of yourself than before.

Anne Boleyn
You are Henry's tragic (yet undeniably charismatic and iconic) second wife, Anne Boleyn. You have an amazing sense of style, and you don't go out unless you're looking completely elegant and glamorous. Since you've been betrayed by so many, you find it hard to trust others, but when you do grow close to people, they deeply admire you and always come to you for advice. You probably enjoy the finer things in life, so there's nothing you love more than a good shopping spree. Hey, we can't blame you—you are a queen, after all!

Jane Seymour
You're Henry's third wife, and the only woman he is thought to have actually loved, Jane Seymour. You're a gentle, calm, and peaceful person who's a bit shy around strangers. At times, you may doubt your abilities and feel you aren't good enough, but it would be a mistake to underestimate you based on your humble attitude. You have a heart of gold, and you love giving to people less fortunate than yourself, which makes you a true queen!

Anne of Cleves
You're Henry's third wife, and the only woman he is thought to have actually loved, Jane Seymour. You're a gentle, calm, and peaceful person who's a bit shy around strangers. At times, you may doubt your abilities and feel you aren't good enough, but it would be a mistake to underestimate you based on your humble attitude. You have a heart of gold, and you love giving to people less fortunate than yourself, which makes you a true queen!

Catherine Howard
You're Henry's fun-loving and vivacious fifth wife, Catherine Howard. With your naturally charming and engaging personality, you bring new life and vibrant energy wherever you go. At times, you can be a little bit impulsive or naive, but this is just because you see the world in such an idealistic and rose-colored way. You believe in beauty and excitement, and you think life is meant to be enjoyed!

Catherine Parr
Like Henry's last wife, Catherine Parr, you are very intelligent, and you're known for giving the best advice to your friends. You love to read, and your greatest joy is showing off your superior knowledge through lively intellectual debates. You're also very sensible and are very kind, often encouraging others to explore their own intellect and better themselves through education. With your powerful mind, passion, and determination, one thing's for certain: you're a survivor.
