16th Century...Just catching up

Life is funny...
Henry VIII had a wife named Catherine who was unable to produce a son for him (she has six daughters, but only named mary survived) so he wanted to divorce her. The pope refused to grand the divorce because of Catherines powerful Spanish family. After two years the marriage was finally "null and void" and Henry remarried Anne Boyeln. Then after a short marriage from her he married Jane Seymour who was able to give him a son, Edward. When Henry died Edward was crowned King even though he was only 10-years old. The boy was sick though and died not long after becoming King. So guess who took the crown next??? Thats right Mary! Thats what Henry VIII gets for divorcing a woman because of she was uncapable to produce a son. It is not her fault that mother nature was not giving her a boy and she should not have had to go through that. Can you imagine how bad she probably felt? She probably felt it was her fault that she couldn't have a boy, then when Henry wanted to divorce her she probably felt 10 times worse about the fact that she couldn't even have a little boy to be crowned King. MEN!!! But like I said life is funny...
