Catherine was finally crowned Queen of England with her husband Henry VIII on June 24, 1509. Shortly after their marriage, Catherine found herself pregnant. This first child was a stillborn daughter whom was soon followed by another pregnancy. This baby died after only 52 days of life. On February 1516, she gave birth a daughter named Mary, and this child lived. Henry was growing frustrated by his lack of a male heir, but he remained a devoted husband.
By 1526 though, he had begun to separate from Catherine because he had fallen in love with one of her ladies, Anne Boleyn. The King began to petition the Pope for an annulment. At first, Catherine was kept in the dark about Henry's plans for their annulment and when the news got to Catherine she was very upset. Catherine then appealed directly to the Pope,saying their marriage was not consummated, therefore were not truly husband and wife In 1533 when Anne Boleyn became pregnant, Henry had to act, and his solution was to reject the power of the Pope in England and to have Thomas Cranmer, the Archbishop of Canterbury grant the annulment. Catherine was to renounce the title of Queen. After the Act of Supremacy, claiming Henry the head of the church making Henry able to marry Anne this lasted a few years, Henry again became frustrated with no male heir just the birth of another daughter, Elizabeth. So he then accused Anne of adultery and she was exiled.
After Anne came Jane Seymour who died in childbirth giving him his first son Edward. Then came Anne Cleves who was 6 month later divorced then Catherine Howard followed by his final marriage to Katherine Parr who helped him reconnect with his daughters.
