Catherine Parr, who survived Henry by only a year - she died in childbirth after giving birth to her daughter from her marriage to Thomas Seymour (brother of Jane Seymour, Henry VIII's 3rd wife), who is believed by some historians to have sexually abused his stepdaughter, princess Elizabeth (future Queen Elizabeth I). He was later beheaded.

Anne of Cleves was the longest surviving wife, and attended the coronation of Edward VI, Henry's son, and after he died, the coronation of Mary I, Henry's daughter. Sadly she died just a year before the coronation of Elizabeth I.
