→‎Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon: That's a fascinating observation!
Line 139: Line 139:  
Slight point - the couple didn't have any ''surviving'' sons. They actually had three sons. Their first son, Henry, Duke of Cornwall, was born on January 1, 1511 and lived for 53 days. Their second (unnamed) son was stillborn in 1513. A second Henry, Duke of Cornwall, was born and died in December 1514.[http://www.nndb.com/people/427/000086169/]

:Edited to add: it's interesting to think about what direction England might have taken had one of these sons lived and Henry and Catherine had remained married. The Church of England might never have been established, and instead of being ineligible to reign if a follower of the Catholic faith, the monarch of England might still ''be'' Catholic. --[[User:SharonW|SharonW]] 16:07, 16 August 2011 (EDT)
