king henry viii

for our final project my group has chosen to research and write about King Henry viii and his six wives. i was in honors Shakespeare for my English class second semester last year and Shakespeare uses the Tudor family in many of his plays so i already had some background knowledge about that time period. last night in the library, i was basically looking at family trees of the Tudors to see exactly how everyone is related. 

- Henry viii is the son of Henry vii and Elizabeth of York
- siblings:  Arthur Tudor, Margaret Tudor, Mary Tudor
- first marriage: Catherine of Aragon. child: Mary i ("Bloody Mary")
- second marriage: Anne Boleyn. child: Elizabeth i (later declared illegitimate and later Queen Elizabeth i)
- third marriage:  Janey Seymour. child: Edward vi
