Henry VIII of England had several children. The best known children are the three legitimate offspring who survived infancy and would succeed him of England, successively, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I. His first two wives, Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn, had several pregnancies that ended in stillbirth, miscarriage, or death in infancy.
All three of Henry VIII 's legitimate children – Mary, Elizabeth and Edward – became queens or kings of England. They ruled consecutively after Henry’s death as Edward VI (1547-53), Mary I (1553-58) and Elizabeth I (1558-1603). Each played an important role in both British history and the history of the royal palaces.
