more than you ever wanted to know
She would pick the one who survives her husband
I made Karen take this “Which wife of Henry the Eighth are you?” test. Did she get Anne Boleyn? Naw.
Congratulations! You are Katherine Parr.Katherine Parr spent nearly her whole life married to crotchety old men: Henry was the THIRD old fart she was forced to marry. Is it any wonder she turned to books and religion to occupy her time?Katherine wasn’t just smart, she was a tiny bit uppity, too: she almost got herself thrown in jail for arguing with His Royal Fatness about some theological issues. After Henry croaked, Katherine dropped the prim and proper act and married Thomas Seymour, a handsome, dashing pirate kind of guy who was also as dumb as a post.Which goes to show you that even bookworms know how to get it on.
Which of Henry VIII’s wives are you? this quiz was made by Lori Fury
D.
I’m Catarina of Aragon, not that that’s much of a surprise. 😉
Catarina was Henry’s first wife and was probably the only one of his six wives to truly love him. He tired of her, and she spent the last decade of her life in lonely exile. Yet when she was dying, alone and unloved, she wrote: “Lastly, I make this vow, that mine eyes desire thee above all things. Farewell.”
I’m Catarina of Aragon, too. I’m a freaking sap! 😛 Which I suppose is technically true, but not very cool. Oh well.
Look on the bright side, you two. At least you didn’t get your heads chopped off.
Anyway, Tam, I figure you’d be the one holding the ax.

Surprise, surprise. ‘Ey?
Oops. I don’t know what I just didn’t up above. I’m Catherine Howard, which should come as a surprise to no one who knows me.
I donno about that quiz–the very first question was lacking a homicide option.
But doing my best with the often-unsatisfactory options, I ended up with Katherine Howard, as well.
I’m not sure if that’s surprising or not.
I’m Catarina, too. Which is fine as long as Dean’s eyes don’t start wandering.
Mmmm, just like ye delightful wife, I be Katherine Parr an’ aye, I do have a secret passion for tall, dark brunettes of th’dykie persuasion. 😉
Wonder what it takes to be Anne Boleyn?
…catarina. oh well, i guess it’s KINDA true. w/e.
I’ve done this quiz before.
And I got Anne Boleyn. –
So what do you think it takes to be her, Doug?
Hmm. Willful, opinionated, passionate, uncompromising — or at least, that’s Hollywood’s impression of her. Is that you, May?
Some people think it is, can we leave it at that?
Also, I’m dedicating this week’s TT to you. You’ll find out why on Thursday. Muahahahahaha!
Aw, my very own Thirteen! This could get nasty (with any luck).
Anna of Cleves got the royal shaft. She came all the way to England to become the fourth wife of Henry VIII. Once married to Anna, he refused to consummate the marriage, and called her the “Flanders Mare”. Talk about a burn, considering that by this time, Henry was the fattest man in England and had a rotting syphilis sore on his leg.
Anna was miffed, but she was too sensible to let it ruin her fun. She was given an annulment and a fat yearly allowance, and she threw extravagant parties and dined on delicacies for the rest of her life.
Wait, so is it a good thing to be Anne? Trod upon during the marriage and then extravagant later? Well, at least she lived…
