King Henry VIII actually had multiple male children. From an admitted mistress, Bessie Blount, Henry fathered her son, named Henry Fitzroy. He was illegitimate, as Henry was not married to Bessie Blount, and thus, he was not a male heir, though he was a male son. Henry also had a son with his third wife, Jane Seymour, named Edward. He would succeed his father as King for a short time before his death as a teenager. In addition, depending on which historian you believe, many think that King Henry also had a male son with Mary Boleyn. It is common knowledge that the King had a brief affair with Mary Boleyn, sister of Anne Boleyn. During the assumed time period of their affair, Mary birthed two children: Catherine and Henry Carey. While there is no secure evidence for this suspicion, the time-line and the King's extravagant treatment of Henry Carey provide circumstantial evidence for the case.
