Course content

This course lets you discover the stories of King Henry VIII’s six wives - how they came to be queens, and what was going on in politics to prompt each woman's rise.

The Wives of Henry VIII Diploma Course examines the details of Jane Seymour’s marriage to Henry VIII and discusses how Jane fulfilled the role of Queen in a way that none of Henry’s other wives ever did. However, it also highlights that we don’t know everything about Jane’s own ambitions and asks the question: was she really as innocent as we all believe?

You’ll discover the reasons for the failure of Henry’s fourth marriage to the German princess, Anne of Cleves. We’ll learn how the marriage came about and why it contributed to the ruination of the ambitions and life of Thomas Cromwell. We’ll also explore her life following the annulment of her marriage to King Henry.

History has left Catherine Howard with a somewhat tawdry reputation. However, this course considers the difficult life she had before marrying King Henry while still more-or-less a teenager and discusses how early life events led to her death.

Henry’s last marriage, to Katherine Parr, was also the least tumultuous - we look at why. We’ll examine Katherine’s life before Henry and explore her passion for theology, which developed after her marriage and was the one element that could have caused her downfall.

The course concludes with a look at the legacy these women left, not just as wives of an increasingly unhinged king – but as women in their own right.
