His father was King Henry vii and this is his mother Elizabeth of york
They would have many children one named Arthur who becomes Arthur Prince of Whales
ANd of course Henry who will become King Henry Viii
Along with Arthur and Henry they also had Margaret and Mary Tudor who became Queen of
France
In order to keep an allies with Spain Arthur Prince of Whales Married Catherine of Aragon
in 1501 but became a window in 1501 just 20 weeks after getting married
then Catherine married Henry in 1509
At age 18 Henry became Henry VIII after his father dies and married Catherine in order
to keep the allies with Spain
After many children passing Catherine gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Mary
Mary would soon become the 1st queen of England
Things are not going well for King Henry VIII nor were they going to plan
There was still no male heir and soon Cartherine came to that age where she could no long have
anymore children
It was time to look for a name wife King Henry VIII then fell in love with Catherine's lady
in waiting Anne Boylen
Playing hard to get ANee Boylen knew what she was doing Anne had her eye on the crown
and in order to get the crown she knew she had to have a son
After a year or so of back and forth they both decided it was time to get married and
to being a family together
Anne Boylen Knew she became pregnant and soon she gave birth to a bay girl, however this
is not in the plans for Kind Henry he was expecting a son
Elizabeth Tudor will one day become Elizabeth I one of the great Queens of England
Henry was still not happy with the fact that he did not have a male heir and soon began
to think it was time to move on
In the end Anne was beheaded and Henry moved on to one of Anne's lady in waiting names
Jane Seymour they had a son together named Edward However Jane became very ill after
giving birth and later passed away
Soon after his father passes Edward also passes away at a very young age
Henry might have thought that he had the perfect life however it was time to move on and this
time he was moving on to Anne of Cleves
Anne was one of the luck ones they say because she was only with him for about six months
Hnery was expecting something else when meeting Anne for the first time he called her a horse
and said she was so ugly and then moved on to someone younger
Catherine Howard
Howard was one of his youngest wives she was fun, and kept Henry youthful however Henry
would get word that she was cheating on him so in return had his 5th wife beheaded
Along came his sixth wife, Catherine Perra

with his family his two daughter and his son before he passed. Sons were just not in the
cards for Henry nor were wives. Catherine of Aragon passed away of old age Anne was

was beheaded, and finally his sixth wife was there until the end
