Catherine of Aragon came to England to become the wife of Arthur, the son of Henry VII. They were married only a short time before he died however. For the next 8 years Catherine lived in England, but she was in limbo with not much money. When Henry VII died in 1509 Henry VII died and Arthur's brother Henry VIII became King. Shortly afterward they got married and lived together until 1532. For the next four years Catherine lived apart from Henry and their daughter Mary. In January of 1536 she died of Cancer.

How did Catherine of Aragon influence England's separation from Rome?

Allison, You can find that out easily enough in any encyclopedia. And it is probably in your textbook as well. The short answer is that because Henry VIII and Catherine had no sons who lived Henry decided to annul the marriage in the hopes that a new wife would bear him a son. Ordinarily this would have been no problem but Catherine's brother was the King of Spain and Holy Roman Emperor and had an army in Rome at the time. Thus the Pope was not going to antagonise him in any way, such as declaring his sister's marriage invalid. Since the Pope would not give him what he wanted, Henry had himself declared the supreme head of the church in England and did it himself. This is often presented as Henry merely engaging in a foolish and overweening pride but that is not really fair to him. Although he undoubtedly had a normal desire for a son there were vital political considerations at stake. Henry was the first King of England to come to the throne without bloodshed in over 100 years. Without a male heir who could lay an undisputable claim to the throne there was every possibility of the country once again falling into civil war as rival claimants vied for the crown. This was Henry's major motivation in this matter. Michael Montagne

Catherine of aragons problem with son?

During the 20 odd years that Catherine of Aragon was married to Henry VIII she became pregnant 7 or 8 times. Several of these resulted in miscariages, but several resulted in live births. Only one duaghter servived. There is no concrete answer as to why Catherine of Aragon (and later Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour) had problems with their pregnancies. People have come up with several reasons why this might have been though. 1. Poor diet (royalty during this time did not eat as much fruit or vegetables as they needed. Catherine of Aragon also may have done damage during her fasting) 2. Henry VIII had STD that afftected the womens abilty to bear healthy children 3. Alcholic Consumtion-the drink of choice was mostly wine during that time 4. Relationship to Henry VIII (Catherine was Henrys 4th and 5th cousin and Anne and Jane were related to Henry as well which might have impacted the health of any offspring between them.)
