First Wife: Catherine of

Aragon

The

daughter of Spanish rulers Ferdinand and Isabella, Catherine (1485-1536) was the widow of Henry's older brother Arthur. Between 1510 and 1518, she gave birth to six children, but all except Mary were stillborn or died in infancy. Henry had their marriage annulled amid much controversy in 1533.Slide9

The only surviving child of Henry and Catherine, Mary became queen after the death of her brother Edward VI and the failed accession of Lady Jane Grey in 1533. She restored England to Catholicism, executing many religious dissenters, and was succeeded by her half-sister Elizabeth I.
