King Henry VIII married Catherine of Aragon primarily to secure an alliance with Spain and to strengthen his position as king. Catherine was the widow of his brother, Arthur, and their marriage was also justified by the need for a male heir to ensure the Tudor dynasty's continuation. Additionally, Catherine had strong connections and brought with her significant dowry, which further solidified the political alliance. However, their marriage ultimately faced challenges due to the lack of a surviving male heir, leading Henry to seek an annulment years later.
