*After her death, a popular rumor surfaced that Catherine was poisoned (upon an autopsy, Catherine's heart was found to be blackened) it is now believed that Catherine may have actually died of cancer. Interestingly still, it is now also to be believed that her mother, Queen Isabella of Spain and Catherine's daughter, Mary Tudor (aka Bloody Mary) also died of cancer.

Answer 2

Catherine was born in Spain and was first married to Henry's brother Arthur. after Catherine married Henry she gave birth to Mary ( later Mary I ), but only after many miscarriage's. the most important thing to Henry was that he had a son to take over the throne when he died. Catherine had produced no male heir and was 42 years old when Henry fell in love with Anne Boleyn. so Henry asked the pope ( head of the catholic church ) for a divorce. this was not allowed and so Henry disobeyed the pope to get rid of Catherine so he could marry someone else who could give him a son for the throne.
