The Search for Wife No. 4](https://rss.com/podcasts/tudorhistory/3068645) _2026-08-14 · Tudor History with Claire Ridgway_ Who would agree to become Henry VIII's fourth wife? By late 1537, Henry VIII was back on the marriage market. Catherine of Aragon had been banished, Anne Boleyn had been executed, and Jane Seymour had died shortly after giving Henry the legitimate son he had longed for.
