Henry Carey, born March 1526, was Mary's second child (her first child, Catherine, was born in 1524). King Henry the VIII is widely reputed to be the father of at least Henry, if not Catherine as well.
Henry Carey's legal father, William Carey, died from the sweating sickness in June 1528 when Henry was 2 years old. Henry and his sister Catherine came under the wardship of Anne Boleyn, who was engaged to King Henry the VIII at the time. The children had active contact with their mother until her banishment from court in 1535.
Acting as her nephew's patron, Anne Boleyn provided Henry with top-quality education until she was beheaded in May 1536, when Henry was 10 years old. His mother died in 1543 and he was returned to his family.
In May 1545 Henry married Anne Morgan, daughter of Sir Thomas and Anne Morgan. They had twelve children in total, although only eight survived - sons George, John, Henry, William, Edmund, Robert (plus an unknown son) and daughters Katherine, Philadelphia and Margaret.
Henry also has several illegitimate children, including Valentine Carey, who served under his father in the military.
Henry Carey died at Somerset House on July 23rd 1596 and was buried at Westminster Abbey.

∙ 12y agoThat Mary's son Henry Carey was fathered by the king is just a rumour. She was married to William Carey at the time, so it's likely that it was his son (same thing with Mary's daughter, Catherine). The king had a son, Henry Fitzroy (last name meaning "son of the king"), from a previous relationship with a mistress. The king acknowledged Henry Fitzroy as his son, but he never did that with any of Mary's children.
