• Catherine Parr 1543-07-12..1547-01-28 The King himself died

Boleyn and Howard lost their heads,
Anne of Cleves he would not bed,
Jane Seymour gave him a son – but died before the week was done,
Aragon he did divorce,
Which just left, Catherine Parr, of course!

A little song too, a little more cheerful .
