Henry Duke of Cornwall was the first-born son of Henry and his first wife Katherine of Aragon. Henry's third queen Jane Seymour gave him his long-awaited male heir, Edward, in 1537. Seventeen years later, Elizabeth was born to Henry and his second wife Anne Boleyn, in 1533. Mary, born in 1516, was the only surviving child of King Henry VIII’s 24-year marriage to Katherine of Aragon. However, none of them had children themselves, and on Elizabeth’s death, the Tudor dynasty ended. They ruled consecutively after Henry’s death as Edward VI (1547-53), Mary I (1553-58) and Elizabeth I (1558-1603).Įach played an important role in both British history and the history of the royal palaces. All three of Henry VIII's legitimate children – Mary, Elizabeth and Edward – became queens or kings of England.
