Catherine of Aragon was married to Henry VIII when she was twenty-three. They divorced because she couldn't give him a son.
Catherine of Aragon came to England to become the wife of Arthur, the son of Henry VII. They were married only a short time before he died however. For the next 8 years Catherine lived in England, but she was in limbo with not much money. When Henry VII died in 1509 Henry VII died and Arthur's brother Henry VIII became King. Shortly afterward they got married and lived together until 1532. For the next four years Catherine lived apart from Henry and their daughter Mary. In January of 1536 she died of Cancer.
Henry had married her because he thought that he might get a boy to take over the throne when he died.
At that period of history, people, and even kings, did not have the option of divorce. If two people got married they took a vow to remain married "until death do us part" which is to say, as long as they both lived, and that vow was meant very seriously. To violate that vow was considered to be offensive to God.
He did not divorce any of his wives. His marriage to his 4th wife; Anne of Cleves, was annulled. His marriage to Catherine of Aragon was annulled by Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury. This marriage was annulled after the Pope continued to delay giving Henry an answer to his petition for an annulment of his marriage with Catherine. He then broke from Rome, and created the Church of England.
Henry VIII had three wives called Katherine! Katherine of Aragon (wife no.1) was originally his brother's wife but he died. She was Spanish and a strong Roman Catholic. Henry wanted a son to carry on the Tudor Reign, Katherine gave him a girl, Mary (later to become Mary I or 'bloody Mary'). Henry sought for a divorce eventually he got one and Katherine died of cancer a few months later. Katherine Howard, he married for her good looks, she was executed for adultery. the final one was Katherine Parr Henry married her so she would look after him, he died leaving a nine year old Edward to the throne.

They married because Henry VII got her and prince Arthur to marry so that England would get more money however Arthur died only a few days after the marriage Henry did not want to lose the money so he got Henry VIII to marry her. However in order for this to happen Henry VII had to give the pope a indulgence payment.

What Henry wanted was an annullment - he considered that he had never been married to Catherine of Aragon at all. When he failed to get this from the pope he married Anne Boleyn anyway as he considered he was single. Catherine never accepted this and regarded herself as his wife and Queen until her death.
