Queen Elizabeth I was the daughter of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII, the second Tudor monarch to grace the English throne. Born Henry Tudor in 1491 at Greenwich Palace, Henry VIII was the youngest son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. Given his unfortunate birth order, he was never expected to become king. Life circumstances were not in his favour. It would only be upon his older brother's untimely death that he would find himself an heir to the throne. Henry died in London on January 28, 1547. He had been grossly overweight later in life, which attributed to various underlying health problems. There has also been speculation that he possibly suffered from syphylis and untreated Type II Diabetes.
