Why did King Henry VIII divorce his first wife?

Answer 1

King Henry VIII married his brother's widow Katherine of Aragon when he was 17 and she was 24. By 1525, after sixteen years of marriage and with no male heir to the crown of England, Katherine was 40 and unlikely ever to produce one. As it happens there were some nice young girls at the court, amongst which was Ann Boleyn who took the king's eye. So he arranged to have his first marriage annulled (cancelled) and married Ann Boleyn instead.

Answer 2

Henry VIII wanted to divorce Catherine of Aragon because she gave birth to a girl, and Henry did not believe that girls were strong enough to rule a country, but Catherine was to old to give birth to any other children so he decided to divorce her. :) hope that helped :)

Answer 3

He unmarried Catherine of Aragan to marry Ann Boleyn. He unmarried Ann of Cleves because there was no attraction; they had a brother sister relationship.

Henry the VIII divorsed his first wife because she didn't give him any sons and he was in love with someone else.

Answer 5
