His first wife could not give him a son and heir.
Because Catherine did not give Henry a son and heir to the thrown, and because he loved Anne Boleyn!
Anne Boleyn was Henry 8th's wife but Henry didn't want her because he had Jane Seymour. It's not that she slept with but she didn't slept with someone. It's because Henry loved Jane because he thought she would give him a son.
He wasn't entirely discouraged, for he felt that if Anne could give birth to a healthy daughter, then she could give birth to a healthy son. He loved his daughter, but not as much as he would've loved her had she been a boy instead.
No his first three wives did; Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour.
Anne Boleyn was the 2nd wife of Henry VIII. Henry was hoping that Anne would give him a son, but she gave him a daughter, Elizabeth I. He fancied Jane Seymour, and heard from his old friend that Anne Boleyn was unfaithful. So she was taken to the trial, and was found GUILTY. So she was executed. Later, Henry married Jane Seymour, and Jane Seymour gave Henry a SON! Edward VI. But Jane fell sick after giving birth and died.
Anne Boleyn was the second wife of King Henry VIII. She died by execution after it was ordered by her husband. King Henry wanted her dead because he wanted to marry another woman and she was unable to give him an heir.
Anne Boleyn was executed because Henry VIII didn't love her anymore, and he wanted to marry Jane Seymour. Anne had failed to give him a son, and Jane could. Anne had sensed that she was doomed because she failed to give Henry a son, but she didn't know how Henry would get rid of her - allegedly she originally thought that Henry would divorce her and send her to a nunnery. In reality, she was accused of adultery with five men including her brother (incest) and treason and she was beheaded on May 19th 1536.
It's just the Catholic Church, not the Roman Catholic Church. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church. King Henry VIII wanted to marry Anne Boleyn but the Holy Father would not give him an annulment of his valid marriage to Catherine of Aragon.
she couldn't give him a son
Catherine could not give Henry a son and had lot her attractive appeal. Anne Boleyn, on the other hand, was young intelligent and had the promise of a son- she was younger enough to have children. Anne lured Henry in, but refused to sleep with him which just made the king more persistent eventually Anne used this to her advantage and told him he could have what he wanted only once she was queen and rightfully his. Henry therefore married Anne because she had seduced him and had promised him a son- the thing he most wanted in life to carry on the Tudor monarchy. xx
