6 GRAVES FOR 6 WIVES. Where are the bodies of the six wives of Henry VIII buried? History Calling

Video Description

Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Catherine Parr; all were married to the same man and two of them were killed by him, but where are the bodies of the six wives of Henry VIII buried? In this six wives documentary from History Calling, I’ll take you round the final resting places of these extraordinary women in Peterborough Cathedral, the Chapel of Saint Peter Ad Vincula in the Tower of London, St George’s Chapel Windsor, Westminster Abbey and Sudeley Castle. I’ll show you contemporary and modern images of their famous graves and briefly tell you what we know about their remains and why they are buried where they’re buried. You’ll find out which wife is buried with Henry VIII, why there are 6 wives, but only 5 gravesites, who ended up in a large communal grave and without a coffin, which Tudor Queen is buried near Elizabeth II and which wife’s remains are missing. I’ll also tell you about the memorials to the six wives, who erected them and how they have changed over the years. Finally we’ll think about why none of the first three women’s children (Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I) ever had their mothers’ bodies moved.
