Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who married Henry VIII on 11 June 1509?

Answer:Catherine of Aragon

Catherine of Aragon (1485-1536) was born in Castilia (Spain). She was only three years old when she was betrothed to Arthur, the English crown prince. The marriage ceremony was in 1501, but Arthur became ill and died in 1502. To avoid missing out on the dowry, Henry VII (Catherine's father-in-law) then arranged that Catherine would marry Arthur's brother Henry when he came of age.

The young Henry was still a minor, as he was born in 1491. So in 1509 the promised wedding was celebrated in great pomp and circumstance - on June 11, some six weeks after the death of King Henry VII. During the marriage, Catherine became pregnant more than once, but the only offspring who survived childhood was a daughter - Mary Tudor.

Henry VIII (1491-1547) sought a reason to divorce Catherine, and he finally found one: by founding a new Christian denomination and assuming the supremacy in this Anglican church, Henry VIII felt it was no longer required to obey the Pope, who supported Catherine's case. Catherine Howard (1523-1542) would become Henry VIII's fifth spouse, in 1540. Catherine Parr (1512-1548) was Henry's sixth and final spouse, in 1543. Catherine de Medici (1519-1589) never married into English royalty, but she married the French king Henry II in 1533.
