"Annulled, annulled, died, annulled, executed, widowed" would be more accurate, but it makes less of a rhyme.

''Died, died, died, died, died, died’’ Would make more sense since they all died eventually, but that would make it less of a rhyme.

Seriously guys, spelling in those days was incredibly random. iirc, there are six surviving signatures of Shakespeare, and none of them did he spell the same... weirdly, none of them are the current spelling that we use today, either. Go figure.

At least they were in series. My brothers' wives had the same names, and my sons-in-law have the same first and middle names. It makes things a bit complicated.

Is your uncle Ron Swanson? Hope he calls them Karen I, Karen II, and Karen III. Bonus if his mother's name is also Karen and he carries around a seemingly indecipherable note in his wallet that only the man who one day murders him will be able to understand.

Yep. And who invented what machine in the industrial revolution, also vital.

Who would willingly go into marriage with somebody who beheaded and banished multiple previous wives? Catherine Parr was quite the thrill seeker

You didn't really get a choice. If the king decided he fancied you, you married him.

There was even an enviable position in the Tudor court called the Groom of the Stool who was responsible for transporting the king's plush, velvet and silk lined portable toilet whenever needed and chronicling its use.

true, i was going to make a comment about this, but i was just seeing if anyone else had my idea. It should be like six:

Catherine, Anne, Jane, Anna (Anne), Katherine, Catherine

Of Aragon, Boleyn, Seymour, Of Cleves, Howard, Parr
