Henry VIII wanted to marry Catherine of Aragon. After the death of Arthur Henry VII did not want Catherine or the money she brought to leave England so she was engaged to marry Henry. Henry VII however realized that Henry could contract a better marriage so there were talks that he would be engaged to one of Catherine's neices who was the daughter of Joanna of Castile and her husband Phillip the son of the Holy Roman Emperor.
