Answer
King Henry VIII of England was born on 28th June 1491. He became King of England when his father died on 21st April 1509, and he reigned until his own death on 28th January 1547.
One of the reasons he is famous is that he married six times.
His father, King Henry VII had become King of England after defeating King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field in the year 1485.
This marked the end of a long and bloody Civil War in England over who should succeed to the throne, known as The Wars of the Roses.
The last time a female had inherited the English throne was in the year 1141 when the daughter of King Henry I, Matilda became Queen. This led to a long Civil War known as "The Anarchy."
Henry VIII was keen to avoid another, similar Civil War and wanted to have a son who would be an undisputed, male heir to the throne.
This was the main reason why he married so many times.
