In this 2-part podcast we'll be looking at the six women married to Henry VIII:

Catherine of Aragon,

Anne Boleyn,

Jane Seymour,

Anne of Cleaves,

Katherine Howard,

and Catherine Parr.

These women shaped England, bore future monarchs, lived, loved, and deserve to be remembered as more than one word the rhyme, “Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived” which Hayley Nolan describes  as “...a delightful way to trivialise thirty-eight years of collective trauma, misery and murder…”

This time we look at Henry's final three wives; Anne of Cleaves, Katherine Howard, and Catherine Parr.
