Henry VIII had only three legitimate children. The all came to the throne, in this order:

-Edward VI

-Mary I

-Elizabeth I

He had an illegitimate child by his mistress Bessie Blount named Henry Fitzroy. He became the 1st Duke of Richmond and Somerset. There was talk of the king making him his heir before he had Edward by his third wife (Jane Seymour), but he died of consumption. He might have had other children, but these were the only four he publicly acknowledged.
