Girls were allowed to succeed but the two previous times that this had happened in England had brought about trouble and warfare -

this is what Henry feared.

He wanted the Kingdom to be secure after he had gone, and

wanted the Tudor legacy to continue. His son Edward was King after him, even though he was only nine when he became king.

Did you know ?The rule of the Crown passing to boys first still exists today - Prince Charles will receive the crown after our current Queen,

Exemption from Pope Julius II• Henry even came to believe that his

union with Catherine, who had many miscarriages and stillbirths, had been cursed by God, because Catherine had first been the wife of his brother, Arthur. Henry’s father, Henry VII, had betrothed Because marriage to the wife of one’s brother was prohibited by both canon and biblical law (see Leviticus 18:16, 20:21), the marriage had required a special exemption from Pope Julius II.

The King’s Affair• By 1527, Henry was thoroughly

besotted of Anne Boleyn, one of Catherine’s ladies in waiting. He was determined to put Catherine aside and take Anne as his wife.

So why might Henry VIII have been interested in the Reformation?

Protestant churches were not under the control of the Pope. The ruler of each state had control of their own church.

Your Grace,Catherine is not able to produce a male heir. I believe the marriage is blighted in the eyes of God as she was my late brothers wife and it was therefore against Biblical

Teachings for me to marry her.I would ask your Excellency to grant and annulment so that I may rid myself of this curse.Best Regards

Henry
