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.
