The Six Ladies of Henry VIII were part of a fraternity that fascinates history buffs as well as those who just plain love a good, juicy soap opera. While it may have seemed the Massive Monarch blew through the line quickly, the amount of time he was married to each may surprise you. Here’s how long each gal wore that traveling wedding band:

1. Catherine of Aragon About 24 years, not together for the last few (June 1509 – May 1533)

2. Anne Boleyn 3 1/2 years(January 1533 – May 1536)

3. Jane Seymour 1 1/2 years (May 1536 – October 1537)

4. Anne of Cleves A measley six months (January 1540 – June 1540)

5. Katherine Howard 1 1/2 years (July 1540 – February 1542)

6. Catherine Parr 3 1/2 years (July 1543 – January 1547)
