As a young man Henry was known for his love of hunting, sport and music, he was an incredible athlete, loved jousting and hunting.
He was good at Latin, Maths, astronomy, cosmology and music.
For political reasons, he married Catherine of Aragon, the wife of his dead brother Arthur, just after he became king. They had a daughter, later Mary I, but because they did not have a son who could be the future king, Henry decided to divorce Catherine. However, the Pope refused to give the necessary permission for this, so Henry took England out of the Roman Catholic Church and made himself head of the Church in England. This act, together with others such as the Dissolution of the Monasteries, were the beginning of the establishment of Protestantism in England.
Henry divorced Catherine of Aragon and married Anne Boleyn in 1533. They had a daughter, later Elizabeth I, but Henry had Anne executed for adultery. His third wife was Jane Seymour, who died giving birth to a son (later Edward VI). Henry married his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, for political reasons, but soon divorced her and in 1540 he married Catherine Howard. She too was executed for adultery. His six and the last wife was Catherine Parr.
