Only one of the four legitimate children of Henry VII ever officially ruled a country and this child of Henry VII is properly the most famous monarch who had ever ruled, or indeed lived: Henry VIII. After the death of Henry VII in 1509, his second son, Henry, inherited the throne and became King Henry VIII although it was originally decided for Henry VII's eldest son, Aurthur to become his heir. However, five months after Arther's marriage with the Spanish princess, Catherine of Aragon, Arther died on April 2. Fortunately Henry VII succeed in the ideal plan for kings - 'an heir and a spare'; Arther's younger brother, Henry therefore became King Henry VIII of England after his father's death. Henry VII also had two daughters: Margaret and Mary but since they were females with brothers, they never did officially rule any country. However, their granddaughters did: Queen Mary of Scotland and the 'Nine Days Queen', Lady Jane Grey.
