Henry VIII Marries Catherine Parr
1543
The aging, obese Henry VIII married his sixth and last wife, the twice-widowed Catherine Parr, in a quiet ceremony at Hampton Court. A learned Protestant, she acted as regent during his war in France and helped reconcile him with his daughters Mary and Elizabeth. She would outlive him by less than two years.
