Why did Henry VIII behead two wives?

Henry VIII's second wife, Anne Boleyn, was tried and convicted of treason, witchcraft and incest. She was executed by beheading. Most historians believe she was completely innocent and the charges were brought against her by her enemies at court and those who wished to gain the King's favour by enabling him to marry again.

Henry's fifth wife did have affairs with other men before and after her marriage. She was also tried and convicted of treason and was executed by beheading.
