Hence the sobriquet, Bloody Mary.

Now on to... The three-question quiz.

And the first question, question number one, who was King Henry VIII's father?

And question two, to which wife was Henry VIII's longest marriage?

And question three, how many wives had Henry VIII beheaded and what were their names?

And we do have the bonus question.

That question is, which of Henry's wives was rumoured to have had six fingers on one hand?

It's now time to recap that mnemonic.
