Catherine or Aragon was first married to Arthur (Henry VIII's brother). However, after the death of Henry VII, Henry VIII decided to marry Catherine for political gains. Tensions arose between the two when both children of Catherine died and Henry VIII wanted a son for his legacy. Soon after, Henry started affair with Mary Boleyn and decided for a divorce from Catherine of Aragon.

The pope did not allow Henry VIII (8) to divorce Catherine. And not to help matters Catherine didn't want to divorce Henry after 20 years of their marriage.

He married Anne Boleyn. Their daughter Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth I. It was a period of religious unrest, schism and political intrigue.
