Henry VIII fathered 3 legitimate children, Mary Elizabeth, and Edward. and one illgitimate child (that we know of) Henry Fitzroy.

Mary was his eldest daughter, her mother was Catherine of Aragon, Henry's 1st wife. Mary later becamo Mary I of England, and is remembered for her unyeilding catholic beliefs and refusal to acknowledge anything protestant. She, like her "brother" before her, killed many who did not believe in her faith in an effort to keep hers strong.

Elizabeth was Henry's second child, mothered by Anne Boleyn, Henry's 2nd wife. She was the last Tudor to hold the throne of England. She took the throne after Both of her siblings and had to appease both the catholics and the protestants to create a united England.

Edward was Henry's only legitimate son and at the age of 9 became King. He was a very sickly child and dod not live for long before passing the throne off to Mary. Edward's mother was Jane Seymore.

Although some claim he became a Protestant on his death-bed, he advocated Catholic ceremony and doctrine throughout his life. Royal backing of the English Reformation was left to his heirs, the devout Edward VI and the renowned Elizabeth I, whilst daughter Mary I temporarily reinstated papal authority over England. Henry also oversaw the legal union of England and Wales with the Laws in Wales Acts 1535-1542. He is also noted for his six wives, two of whom were beheaded.
