Description
In the early hours of the morning the three year old boy was awoken and rode to Westminster Hall. Once there, Henry was presented before the King. Next, little Henry had the right spur attached to his heel by the Duke of Buckingham and the left spur attached by Marquis of Dorset.The King then came forward and knighted his son with his sword. Out of love it seems the King then picked up his young son and placed him on a table for all to see. The very next day on Saturday 1st of November 1494 young Henry Tudor was created Duke of York in a lavish ceremony.
because this anecdote of Henry VII unexpectedly lifting little Henry VIII up out of pride/love during his investment as Duke of York to place him on table, is quite cute and funny,.. I had to draw it

Only two of his wives were executed and it was for adultery.
Catherine of Argon (marriage annulled, died while detained under guard at Kimbolton Castle, mother of Mary I)
Anne Boleyn (marriage annulled, then beheaded under incest and adultery charges, mother of Elizabeth I)
Jane Seymour (died twelve days after giving birth to Edward VI, believed to be caused by birth complications)
Anne of Cleves (marriage annulled, outlived the rest of the wives)
Catherine Howard (beheaded on adultery charges)
Catherine Parr (widowed at death of Henry VIII, remarried to Thomas Seymour)

Oh no, men confessed to having had relationships with the Queens and were executed as well. He didn't make it up.
