As was common for the time, and especially for royalty, it was an arranged marriage aimed at reinforcing the alliance between England and Spain. Arthur died, aged 16, on 2nd April 1502, and again to support the alliance with Spain, King Henry VII, father of Arthur and the future King Henry VIII proposed that the young Henry should marry his dead brother's widow. Permission for this to take place had to be obtained from the Pope and it was fourteen months later, in June 1503 that Henry and Catherine were betrothed. Henry was then 12 years old.
