Best Answer

There are many reasons why King Henry never acknowledged Henry Carey. It is possible that King Henry was NOT the father of Mary Bolelyn's son, as he was birthed after the affair ended. It's widely debated as to whether or not Henry was conceived within the correct timeframe to the King's son. (Meanwhile, Mary's daughter, Catherine, was conceived and birthed during their affair-- irrelevant to the question, but food for thought). It is also possible that King Henry never acknowledged Henry Carey because, upon his birth, the King had fallen in love with Mary Boleyn's sister, Anne. Admitedly marrying his own son's aunt could have been quite troublesome for the King's reputation and spiritual wellbeing, which is held to the highest esteem.

Who were Henry Fitzory and Henry Carey?

Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond (1519 - 1536) was the illegitmate son of Henry VIII and his mistress, Elzabeth Blount. He died when he was 17. Henry Fitzroy was the only acknowledged illegitimate child of Henry VIII. Henry Carey (1526 - 1596) was the child of Mary Boleyn (sister of Anne). As Mary Boleyn had been a mistress of Henry VIII, there was much speculation that this child was also Henry VIII's. But this was never acknowledged. Mary Boleyn was actually married to William Carey. During the reign of Elizabeth I, Henry Carey became Baron Hunsdon and was eventually made Lord Chamberlain. He and Elizabeth were cousins through their mothers - but it is not beyond the realms of possibility that they were actually half brother and half sister!
