"I always hear people say that Katherine was Henry's true love but I don't think he ever had one. I recall reading somewhere that Henry was infatuated with Katherine while she was married to his older both Arthur. Arthur died and Katherine was married to Henry. If it was true love why did Henry take a mistress so soon? The same with Anne Boleyn. Anne was an object that Henry wanted and could not have. He broke apart Anne and Henry Percey so that he might have Anne for himself. Anne rejected him at first and he really became obsessed with having her as his own. When he did finally get her he really did that same thing he had done to Katherine and took a mistress not too far into the marriage. When Henry wanted to get rid of Anne he turned to her polar opposite the blond blue eyed Jane who rejected him in the same way Anne had. I personally think that Henry was obsessed with the idea of getting rid of Anne and turned his full attention to a woman who was exactly the opposite of her. Anne of Cleaves really can be left out because we know he strongly disliked her. Katherine Howard was really a young girl who was a way out of a marriage for Henry. Henry wanted out of that marriage and turned to the young Katherine for his release. Catherine Parr was really, in my opinion, more of a companion than a wife however I do believe that Henry was determined to have her. It was clear as day that Catherine and Edward Seymour were in love and Henry wanted something he couldn't have so he sent Edward away and married Catherine."
