Catherine of Aragon, a Spanish princess, had married Henry's older brother Arthur, on 14th November 1501. As was common for the time, and especially for royalty, it was an arranged marriage aimed at reinforcing the alliance between England and Spain.
Arthur died, aged 16, on 2nd April 1502, and again to support the alliance with Spain, King Henry VII, father of Arthur and the future King Henry VIII proposed that the young Henry should marry his dead brother's widow.
Permission for this to take place had to be obtained from the Pope and it was fourteen months later, in June 1503 that Henry and Catherine were betrothed.
Henry was then 12 years old.
They were married on 11th June 1509, when Henry was 18 years old.

What year was it when Henry first got married?
Henry VIII first got married to Catherine of Aragon in 1509.
Why did James take the thown after Queen Elizabeth?
James was her closest relative. King Henry VII had 4 childrenArthur, Prince of Wales (19/20 September 1486 - 2 April 1502) who died without issue, Margaret Tudor Queen of Scots (28 November 1489 - 18 October 1541) married the king of Scotland Had two children that lived King James V and Margaret Douglas by Margaret's second husband Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus.Henry VII's 3 child was King Henry VIII(28 June 1491 - 28 January 1547), Henry VIII had 3 Children Mary I (18 February 1516 - 17 November 1558), Elizabeth I (7 September 1533 - 24 March 1603), and Edward VI (12 October 1537-6 July 1553), all of Henry VIII's children died with out issue.the 4th child of Henry VII was Mary Tudor, who had 2 children, Frances Grey, Duchess of Suffolk and Eleanor Clifford, Countess of CumberlandMargaret Tudor's Son King James V had one Son James the VI who had one child Mary Queen of Scots, Mary married Margaret Douglas's son Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley and together they had a son King James VI. James VI of Scotland was the senior member of the senior Line from Henry VIIhowever it's not that easy, because when Henry VIII was dying he was giving the power to will the crown, Henry VIII willed the Crown first to Edward VI, he died childless so Henry VIII's will passed the Crown to Mary I, she died Childless so the Will passed the Crown to Elizabeth I, who also died Childless, now at the time of Henry VIII's dead (and the writing of HenryVIII's Will) Scotland and England were at war and Henry VIII was scared of the Scottish Kings taking the Crown, thus in the Will of Henry VIII his sister's line was skipped over in favor of his younger sister Mary's line. however by the time of Queen Elizabeth I's Death the Line of Mary Tudor was in a bad way. Mary Tudor's first born child Frances Grey, Duchess of Suffolk was mother of Lady Jane Grey(the Nine Day Queen) who was a key part of a coup against Queen Mary I, Frances Grey's other children Lady Catherine Grey and Lady Mary Grey got married without Queen Elizabeth I's say so, a crime for some one so close to the crown. With the Line of Mary Tudor at such a low and a Male King as the Senior line claimant waiting in the wings, Queen Elizabeth I's Minster Sir Robert Cecil worked hard to make James VI king of England.
Does Queen Elizabeth have any brothers or sisters and what are their names?
There have been two Queen Elizabeths. Elizabeth II had one sister, Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. However, Princess Margaret died in 2002. For Elizabeth I, it's complicated. Her mother was Anne Boleyn. Anne had three other pregnancies, but one of them ended in a miscarriage, another in a stillbirth, and one was a son (named Henry) who died only a few minutes after being born. So Elizabeth had no full siblings who survived infancy. However, her father was Henry VIII, who eventually was married six times... Anne was his second wife... and through him, she had quite a few half-siblings. Before Henry got married, he had a mistress who became pregnant and gave birth to a son, Henry FitzRoy ("son of the king"). Henry (the father) acknowledged that Henry FitzRoy was his son. Henry also slept with Anne's sister Mary, and there has been speculation that Mary's two children (a son, Henry, and a daughter, Catherine) may have been Henry's; however, Henry never publically acknowledged them the way he had Henry FitzRoy. He had six children with his first wife, Catherine of Aragon: A stillborn daugher, a son named Henry Duke of Cornwall who died when he was about two months old, a stillborn son, a second son also named Henry Duke of Cornwall (by this point, you have probably noticed a pattern forming) who died within a month, a daughter Mary, and an unnamed daughter who died within a week. Henry's third wife was Jane Seymour, who bore him one child (Edward ... I don't know if Henry finally realized the "Henry Jr." thing wasn't working out, or what) and died shortly afterward. Henry's fourth wife was Anne of Cleves. He never actually slept with her. Henry's fifth wife was Catherine Howard. They had no children. Henry's sixth wife was Catherine Parr. They also had no children. Catherine did remarry after Henry's death and give birth to a daughter (Mary Seymour), but Mary Seymour was neither a full nor half sibling of Elizabeth. Counting just those that survived infancy, then, that gives Elizabeth a total of one acknowledged but illegitimate half-brother (Henry FitzRoy), one half-sister (Mary), one possible half-brother (Henry Carey) and half-sister (Catherine Carey) who were not acknowledged, and one half-brother (Edward). Edward (as Edward VI), Mary (as Mary I), and Elizabeth (as Elizabeth I) would all eventually become sovereign (in that order).
