    Which wife outlived the rest of the wives? - ProProfs

    Which wife outlived the rest of the wives?

    • Catherine Howard

    • Anne of Cleves

    • Catherine Parr

    • Jane Seymour

    Correct Answer
    A. Anne of Cleves
    Explanation
    Anne of Cleves is the correct answer because she was the fourth wife of King Henry VIII and the only one who outlived him. After their marriage was annulled, Anne lived a relatively long and peaceful life, while the other wives either died during their marriages to Henry or shortly after. Catherine Howard was executed for adultery, Catherine Parr died shortly after Henry's death, and Jane Seymour died shortly after giving birth to Henry's only legitimate son, Edward VI. Therefore, Anne of Cleves is the wife who outlived the rest.
