No, since the 1700's no Catholic can be King or Queen of England. Before this time it was different. Until Henry VIII broke with the Church of Rome all Kings and Queens were Catholic. After Henry his daughter Mary burned Protestants and later Charles I married French Catholic Henrietta Maria who raised their children in the faith. Charles and Henrietta's sons Charles and James were both Catholic and it was because of James and the "Glorious Revolution" that they came up with the rule that only Protestant descentants of Sophia of Hanover (The Grandaughter of King James I) could be in line to the throne of England.

Eleanor was the wife of 2 kings and the mother of two kings. She was the grandmother of a queen. Very few could compare the power she held. As the heiress of the duchy of Aquitaine she was a trend setter in the medieval world. She went on the second crusade while married to King Louis VII of France and the marriage was annulled. She left her two daughters by him to be raised in the French court. Her second marriage was to Henry of Anjou who became King Henry II of England in 1154. She bore Henry 5 sons and 3 daughters. Two of her sons Richard and John will become Kings of England. Eleanor was an independent ruler in her own right since she inherited the huge Duchy of Aquitaine and Poitiers from her father when she was 15. In 1173 she led three of her sons in a rebellion against Henry. The rebellion was put down and she was imprisoned by Henry for 15 years. In 1189 Henry died and her son Richard I became king. She died after many years of travel and political power in 1204.

1066 AD, by Normans (People of Normandy, in Northern France) Since then, it's had Kings and Queens from different countries - Scotland, Wales, Holland - but since they're all from the same British Royal Family and inherited the country rather than invaded it, they don't count.
Which King Henry? There have been 8 diffrent kings named Henry in England, since 1066, if one includes Henry the Young King.If, however, we assume that the question refers to the FIRST king to bear the regnal name Henry, then the answer would, in order or birth, be:Matilda, born in 1102, died 1167.William Adelin, born in 1103, died 1120.Of course, these are merely his LEGITIMATE children. He had possibly as many as 24 illegitimate ones, with a long line of mistresss.
Leadership has been around ever since Kings, Queens, Prime ministers, and Presidents have started to be chosen around 200 AD.
