King Henry VIII Wanted a Son
K ing Henry wanted a son, not a daughter. He wanted a son to be his heir and reign as king one day. He had wanted a son so much that he proceeded to divorce Catherine, his first wife, when she didn’t produce a son. When Elizabeth was only 3, her father had Queen Anne, her mother, killed because she didn’t produce a son. Elizabeth was then declared illegitimate, depriving her a place in royal succession. He then married Jane who was finally able to produce a son for him, Prince Edward. Unfortunately, she died during the birth of Prince Edward. He then married Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr.
