Answer King Henry VIII of England famously married six times. Three of his wives gave birth to children who survived infancy.They were Catherine of Aragon - Henry's first wife - who gave birth to a daughter on 18th February 1516. This daughter later became Queen Mary I. Anne Boleyn - Henry's second wife - gave birth to a daughter on 7th September 1533. This daughter later became Queen Elizabeth I. Jane Seymour - Henry's third wife - gave birth to a son on 12th October 1537. He later became King Edward VI.

Also Catherine Parr gave birth AFTER her marriage to King Henry VIII to a daughter fathered by her 4th husband Thomas Seymour.

It is also well known that Catherine of Aragon have birth 6 times, 5 of the 6 either were stillborn or died within the first year of life. Anne Boleyn gave birth to a stillborn son who is entombed with King Henry and Queen Jane (also there was at least 1 miscarriage/ false pregnancy, possibly 2).

His first wife, Catherine of Aragon, bore Henry VIII a daughter named Mary. She earned the nickname Bloody Mary because when she was queen, she executed many Protestants, for she was very Catholic. Henry's second wife, Anne Boleyn, gave birth to Elizabeth I. Elizabeth would become a great Protestant queen, ruling for 45 years. The third wife, Jane Seymour, gave him a son, Edward VI. Edward was the youngest of the three half-siblings and a sickly child, but took the throne first after his father because he was a boy. Henry VIII's last three wives, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard and Catherine Parr, bore him no children.

Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) had two legitimate daughters and one legitimate son, details as follows:

Mary I (1516 - 1558) by Catherine of Aragon - first wife (1485 - 1536)

Elizabeth I (1533 - 1603) by Anne Boleyn - second wife (c1501-07 - 1536)

Edward VI (1537 - 1553) by Jane Seymour - third wife (c1504-09 - 1537)

Catherine of Aragon did suffer stillbirth and miscarriages, as did Anne Boleyn.

Henry also had an acknowledged illegitimate son:

Henry Fitzroy (1519 - 1536) Duke of Richmond (by Henry's mistress Elizabeth Blount)

There may have been other illegitimate brothers and sisters, possibly by Mary Boleyn, (and in particular her son, Henry Carey) another of Henry's mistresses and sister of Anne Boleyn; but they have not been confirmed or acknowledged.

Katherine of Argon had Queen Mary and several miscarriages.

Anne Boleyn had Queen Elizabeth and supposedly miscarried a son.

Jane Seymour had his only legitimate son, King Edward VI. Jane died shortly after childbirth.

First Child - Mary Tudor who became Queen Mary I (Bloody Mary)

Second Child - Elizabeth who became Queen Elizabeth I

Third Child - Edward who became King Edward VI

Henry VIII was also believed to have fathered at least two illegitimate children - Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond and possibly a son called Henry by Mary Boleyn.
