There's a popular perception that Henry VIII divorced his first wife Catherine of Aragon because she "couldn't have sons".
In fact, three of Queen Catherine's six children were sons, including Henry, Duke of Cornwall.
Mary I is often viewed as Catherine's "only child" solely because she was the only one to survive infancy.

I am a little obsessed with the #Tudors, mainly #HenryVIII and his #SixWives and I've often wondered if #CatherineofAragon should've given into Henry's request for an annulment for, if not her sake, for the sake of her daughter #MaryTudor. Then part of me thinks no, she was right to fight until the end. I go back and forth.
