Catherine of Aragon, the first wife of Henry VIII, had six pregnancies, but only one child survived infancy. That lucky survivor was Mary I of England, also known as Bloody Mary for her delightful habit of executing Protestants. So, to answer your question, Catherine of Aragon had one surviving child with Henry VIII.
If Queen Catherine's only child was a boy there wouldn't have been Reformation parliament or the Supremacy act. Also England wouldn't have had its first queen aka Queen Mary.
Queen Mary I was the eldest child of Henry VIII. Her mother was Catherine of Aragon. she was a sickly child with poor eyesight, bad headaches HEAVY GAS!!!!! and alot of other problems
No His only child was a son, Prince Edward, born in October 1453. Had he had a daughter instead, history would have been radically changed as this would have made possible a dynastic marriage with the Yorkist heir, and averted the Wars of the Roses.
Catherine of Aragon was important in European history for a number of reasons. For one, she was the youngest daughter of Spanish monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella (who we also know of who financed Christopher Columbus's voyages to the New World) Catherine would later grow up to be the 1st wife of the infamous King Henry VIII, and her refusal to go for a divorce and retire into a nunnery when Henry fell head over heels for Anne Boleyn led to Henry breaking away from the Catholic Church. And last but not least, Catherine of Aragon was the mother of Mary Tudor, Henry VIII's eldest daughter who would later inherit the throne and earn the nickname 'Bloody Mary'.
