Catherine or Aragon was first married to Arthur (Henry VIII's brother). However, after the death of Henry VII, Henry VIII decided to marry Catherine for political gains. Tensions arose between the two when both children of Catherine died and Henry VIII wanted a son for his legacy. Soon after, Henry started affair with Mary Boleyn and decided for a divorce from Catherine of Aragon.
Initially with Cathrine of Aragon. But he later wanted to get rid of Annne Boleyn,Cathrine Howard, Anne of Cleves and Cathrine Parr. He was in a hurry, so he had two of them executed.
because Henry wants a son but Cathrine is too old to produce a son. Henry wants a son so he could inherate and become king
Henry VIII wanted a divorce from Catherine of Aragon becasue he wanted a son and she was too old to have any more children. At the time England was a Roman Catholic country so he had to ask permission of the Pope. The Pope wouldn't grant his divorce, so, Henry separated from Rome and made the country protestant. He lead the Church of England and gave himself the divorce.

No, it was Henry who wanted that.

1925 Henry VIII had been dead for almost 400 years. In 1525 he wanted to divorce his wife Catherine of Aragon
I think that it was because Henry VIII wanted a son and Catherine of Aragon could not , according to historians, give birth to any more children. He set up the Church of England to divorce Catherine because the pope would not allow it. Anne Boleyn was the next girl in waiting but Henry was not aware that she was already pregnant. Henry was forced to divorce Catherine for Anne would not approve of having sexual intercourse with a married man. Hope this helps :) lols
