Henry VIII and His Six Wives
The Six Wives of Henry VIII:
"divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived".
An alternative version is "King Henry the Eighth, to six wives he was wedded: One died, one survived, two divorced, two beheaded". (Or, more succinctly, "Two beheaded, one died, two divorced, one survived.")
