It's a folk song, so it has a lot of names (most of them containing the words "Grene Sleves" or similar variant spellings). The melody for the song is also used for the Christmas song "What Child is This?" and a variant was used as the closing theme of the Lassie TV show.

What is the name of the song Mrs. Bennett is humming in last part of 2005 Pride and Prejudice?

I haven't seen the movie in a while, but if you're referring to the part I am thinking of, I think Mrs. Bennet was humming "Dargason", a 17th century English folk song / dance tune.

Which king allegedly wrote greensleeves?

A broadside ballad by this name was registered at the London Stationer's Company in 1580[1] as "A New Northern Dittye of the Lady Greene Sleeves". It then appears in the surviving A Handful of Pleasant Delights (1584) as "A New Courtly Sonnet of the Lady Green Sleeves. To the new tune of Green sleeves." The tune is found in several late 16th century and early 17th century sources, such as Ballet's MS Lute Book and Het Luitboek van Thysius, as well as various manuscripts preserved in the Cambridge University libraries.There is a persistent belief that Greensleeves was composed byHenry VIII for his lover and future queen consort Anne Boleyn. Boleyn allegedly rejected King Henry's attempts to seduce her and this rejection may be referred to in the song when the writer's love "cast me off discourteously". However, Henry did not compose "Greensleeves", which is probably Elizabethan in origin and is based on an Italian style of composition that did not reach England until after his death!
