Henry VIII succeeded his father Henry VII following the latter's death in April 1509. It was the first untroubled succession in many years. Henry was not properly prepared for his role as king as for the first 10 or so years of his life he was in fact second in line to the throne after his elder brother Arthur. Had Arthur survived the illness that caused his death in 1501 it would have been him and not Henry who would have succeeded. Hope this helps.
