There is no known definitive answer to this question; however, some historians estimate he ordered about 120 executions per month, most, but not all, beheading Using these figures the total number of deaths would exceed 54,000 over the course of his 38-year reign. Other estimates have been as high as 72,000. While possible, neither number can be confirmed.
In addition to executing criminals and enemies of the state, Henry VIII ordered two of his wives, Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard, to be beheaded, and is also rumored to have caused the death of many members of his own family and his personal servants.
It should be noted that the King was responsible for "judicial murders," which are executions carried out by order of the court or a sovereign head, not by Henry VIII himself.
I have talked to a specialised person in this sort of subject and has said 'he has killed an estimated number of about 165 people a month which through his 38- year reign comes to a total of about 55,000 but there has been an estimate of about 72,500 executions' Though two of these people beheaded were his wives Anne Boleyn and Cathrine Howard
I don't know how many people Henry beheaded! But I've just read that he had an estimated 72,000 people killed!
If that helps?
As it is debatable how many people died because of any king or queen in the past, what is the relevance today, it was different times and different morals....so one cannot judge at all.
well he killed 120 people per year, now using these figures we can estimate that he has killed 54,000 people during his 34-year reign, some also estimated as high as 74,000 but neither of these have been proved.
he beheaded more christians than catholics, basicaly he beheaded more of his own people then the people who he disliked which was catholics.(:
