Henry VIII stumble View of the bridge fromHenry VIII, King of England, 1525 (1824). Henry (1491 1547) succeeded his father, Henry VII, in 1509. Obsessed with passing the throne on to a male heir, he had six wives in the course of his reign, none of whom provided him with a son who survived. In divorcing his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, in 1533, Henry severed the English church from Rome. From Ancient Armour, by Samuel Rush Mayrick, 1824.
