Answer 2

Richard I had several full and half brothers and sisters.
He had three brothers (one didn't survive infancy) and three sisters. He also had two half sisters from his mother's (Eleanor of Aquitaine) first marriage and at least one half brother from his father's (Henry I) many affairs (probably more, hard to say for sure).

Answer 2

Henry VIII had three legitimate children; Mary I, Elizabeth I, and Edward VI. He had only one confirmed illegitimate child, Henry Friztroy, Duke of Richmond. Over the course of six marriages, of which only the first three produced children, Henry VIII (28, June 1491 - 28, Jan. 1547) saw only three of his legitimate offspring survive past infancy. His first and longest lasting marriage was to the Spanish Katherine of Aragon. (16 Dec. 1485 - 7 Jan. 1536) The widow of his elder brother Arthur, their union was sanctioned by the Church of Rome on the grounds that Arthur and Katherine had never consummated their marriage. Eight pregnancies managed to produce only one daughter (see note at bottom). The staunchly Roman Catholic Mary (18 Feb. 1516 - 17 Nov. 1558) was the eldest surviving child of Henry VIII, later to be dubbed, "Bloody Mary," for her acts against protestants in the attempted re-establishment of the Roman Catholic Church as the sole religion of England. Henry married for the second time in 1533 when, after thirty-six years of marriage the King finally annulled his marriage with Katherine. The last six years of their union having been spent embroiled in the conflict with, and eventual separation from, the Church of Rome that would become the British Reformation producing the protestant Church of England, the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and the establishment of the Monarch as Supreme Head of the Church of England.

Anne Boleyn, (c.1505-19 May 1536) Marquees of Pembroke (the title having first been created for her) bore him another daughter- the future Queen, Elizabeth I in 1533. But in Henry's quest for a son he was at first greatly disappointed with the girl who bore the famed Tudor red hair, and tensely awaited a second pregnancy that produced only a still born son. Infuriated and disillusioned with Anne and ready to marry again, Elizabeth was only three and half years old when her mother went to the block on grounds of treason. Charged with adultery, incest and plots against the crown, Anne was beheaded along with her brother George and several young men (of whom at least one suffered drawing and quartering), that had been named in their turn as her lovers and co-conspirators. None of the charges held against them have ever been proved with any strength by modern scholars.

His third marriage within the same year to Lady Jane Seymour (c.1508-24 Oct. 1537), a former lady-in-waiting to the late Anne Boleyn was perhaps by far his happiest, especially as Jane was regarded as gentle, loving and kind by her subjects as well. She reunited the family again- bringing Mary back to court and Elizabeth as well. It was not long before she gave Henry VII the son he had so longed for and greatly altered the structures of legal and religious institutions in his country to obtain. However his joy was short lived as Jane was to died nine days later of complications from what had been a long and difficult labor. Named Edward, Henry's sole legitimate male heir was a weak and sickly child who would eventually succeed to his father throne as Edward VI.

Several months after Jane's death, Parliament sought another wife for the King, resulting in his fourth marriage to Ann of Cleaves- the work of Lord Chancellor Thomas Cromwell who would later be beheaded for his involvement. Each having been lied to about the appearances and eligibility of the other, theirs was a mutual repugnance and the marriage was never consummated. However Ann was an exceptionally talented and intelligent and good natured woman- both trained and naturally gifted in the arts of governance and she and Henry found great pleasure in a growing friendship. Thus the annulment of their marriage was both a mutually consensual, and oddly congenial, affair that left her in possession of a large number of fair properties in England and the official title of Princess of England and the "The King's Most Beloved Sister." She remained in England the rest of her life. His fifth wife Catherine Howard (the oft named "Rose without a Thorn") and he were married almost immediately following his annulment from Ann on July 28, 1540, but lasted barely a year and half. She was beheaded on February 13, 1542, on the grounds of having carried on an adulterous affair with Thomas Culpepper. However it is interesting to note that she could not have been guilty of adultery in this case against Henry as their marriage was found to have been null and void from the start due to a previously existing marriage with Francis Dereham. She would have only been about 18-20 years of age at the time of her death. His Sixth and final marriage to the wealthy, reformist, twice widowed Katherine Parr (c. 1512 - 5 Sept. 1548) also ended without issue as with his previous two wives. Indeed there still remains controversy as to whether or not their union had ever been consummated, especially in regards to the Kings poor health in his final years. Katherine once again reunited the Henry with his two daughters and was key to their re-establishment in the line of succession after their brother Edward (15440; their legitimacy having been questioned after the annulment of both of their Mother's marriages to the King. Katherine Parr survived Henry (d. January 28, 1547) as Dowager Queen, soon remarrying Edward Seymour, 1st Earl of Hertford, and Lord Protector of the nine-year-old King Edward VI. Many popular rumors and myths have abounded over the years as to the extra-marital affairs of Henry VIII. However historians have only been able to confirm two. First Elizabeth (Bessie) Blount (c. 1502 - 1540). Maid of Honor to Queen Katherine of Aragon her affair with Henry is believed to have been his longest, beginning somewhere around 1517. In 1519 she bore him a son, Henry FitzRoy, Duke of Richmond. Anne Boleyn's elder sister Mary also carried on an affair with the King. She bore at two children, during the course of her marriage to Sir William Carey, Catherine and Henry Carey, both of whom have been suggested as having been father by Henry VI, though there is not enough evidence to support these claims. She also may have born another son and later daughter to her second husband William Stafford.
