When she was young she was very beautiful with a fair/rosy complexion, wavy golden hair with a tint of red that went below her waist, blue eyes and neat even doll-like features.

How many illegitimate children did Henry VIII have?

King Henry VIII had four children with Catherine of Aragon before Mary Tudor. However, they all died. Mary Tudor was the first to survive. When Henry found that he liked a woman named Anne, he "divorced" Catherine, saying it had never really happened. (illegitimate - born to a mother who is not legally married.) So, that was one. He had a child with Anne named Elizabeth I. Then he beheaded Anne because she was cheating and married another woman, his third out of six wife. Since Anne was cheating he pronounced that child illegitimate, too. With his third wife (Jane) he had Edward VI, who became king. Jane died naturally. Henry never disowned Edward and died as soon as he was crowned (or a bit before.) He still had already married three other women though.

Who took the throne after Henry VIII death?

Lady Jane Grey, as you may already know, became queen after a request of Edward I on his death bed instead of the late king's half sisters.

Mary then succeeded her and after Mary came Elizabeth I (the last Tudor Monarch).

Who was Henry VIII 's first wife?

Henry VIII first wife was Catherine of Aragon. She married him 7 years after being married to his older brother Arthur, who died after 6 months of marriage to Catherine. Henry's family was much opposed to the marriage; in particular, the King's Grandmother, who ruled the court. They felt that one man should not marry his brothers wife, but Catherine and Henry received a dispensation from the Pope that allowed them to marry, on the grounds that Catherine had not been Arthur's true wife as their marriage had not been consummated. Catherine was a great queen; the people loved her; she fought the Scots of her own accord and won, killing their monarch at Flodden; she bore him 8 children, unfortunately only one survived beyond their first 6 months (Mary).

Catherine's parents were Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon.

Catherine of Aragon was renowned in history for being a truly loving wife; even though Henry had many affairs and mistresses, she never complained. She was also a devout Catholic and always refused a divorce, believing that her and Henry's marriage was right and made by God. Henry behaved abominably towards her, but she carried on loving him and remained stout in the belief that she was his wife and would forever be.

Catherine of Aragon died, alone but for her ladies, in a small, dirty house after over half a century of royal life- first as a Princess Of Spain, then as Queen of England. Her health had been deteriorating rapidly, but it worsened quickly, according to her ladies, after she had drank some Welsh-brewed beer. Many people were convinced that Anne Boleyn, the King's new wife, was a murderess.

I sincerely hope that this helps.
