The overriding ambition of Henry VIII was to produce a son and heir.
His first wife, Catherine of Aragon gave him a daughter, Mary (later Queen Mary)
His second wife, Anne Boleyn, also produced a daughter, Elizabeth, later Queen Elizabeth I
His third wife, Jane Seymour, gave him a son, Edward, later Edward VI of England.
Jane died just two weeks after his birth, and Edward died at the young age of 15.
The other factor which influenced Henry's decisions was his battle with the catholic church. He was determined that his heir would be protestant. Queen Elizabeth certainly was, but she died childless and the Tudor line came to an end.
