Why Did Henry VIII Marry Six Times?

Following on from the hugely successful "Start-Up History" series, "Step-Up History" has been created specifically to support the scheme of work in the History Curriculum at KS2 - the next step up! 'Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived' is a rhyme listing what happened to Henry VIII's six wives, but it does not explain why Henry kept ending one marriage and marrying a new wife.

This CD-ROM helps you to explore the different reasons why he married six times, by looking at his life as a Tudor king, his character, the problems he faced during his reign (1509-47) and the solutions that he and his advisers found.
