Two - his second (Anne Boleyn) and his fifth (Kathryn Howard). Anne Boleyn was accused of witchcraft and Kathryn Howard was found guilty of adultery. Interestingly, the news that Kathryn Howard had another husband was brought by Henry VII's jester, as he was the only person who could get away with it.
Two of Henry VIII's queens were beheaded - but not by him personally. His second queen, Anne Boleyn (mother of Queen Elizabeth I) was beheaded, and his fifth queen, Katherine Howard was beheaded.
At his instructions two of his wives were beheaded.
King Henry 8th had 6 wives. A good way on remembering how many wives and how they died is... Divorced, Beheaded, died, Divorced, Beheaded, survived.
Two. Anne Boleyn was tried, convicted and executed for treason, witchcraft and incest. She was probably innocent. Catherine Howard was tried, convicted and executed for treason-- her treason was committing adultery with at least two men.
Henry VIII's second wife Anne Boleyn was beheaded for high treason (which also included adultery and incest - she apparently slept with many different men, one even apparently being her own brother George Boleyn, who was also beheaded a few days after Anne was) on 19th May 1536!Hope that answers!

Two. The old "rhyme" goes "divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived". Two of Henry's wives ... the second and fifth ... were executed, the first and third were divorced (and therefore no longer his wives at the time of their death), the third died (of natural causes), and the sixth was still married to Henry at the time of HIS death.

Henry VIII didn't physically behead anyone himself; others did it.
Henry the VIII had many characteristics that made up his reputation, but I would say that he would have to be considered a man of many wives.
Henry had six wives...see more on page 20
