Were those wives?

No. They were three Catholic priests and three Protestant ministers.

Three Protestants for heresy under the Six Articles:

-Dr. Robert Barnes, July 30, 1540. Burned at the stake. Friend of Martin Luther
-Thomas Garret, July 30, 1540 hanged
-William Jerome, July 30, 1540 hanged

Three Catholic priests all hung, drawn and quartered for denying the royal supremacy:

-Thomas Abel, July 30, 1540
-Richard Featherstone, July 30, 1540. Former chaplain of Katherine of Aragon and tutor to Mary
-Edward Powel, July 30, 1540
