Indeed. Catherine was his brothers wife and bore him Mary. Elizabeth was Anne Boleyns daughter. The history of the politics is fascinating as beautifully written in the Wolf Hall trilogy through the eyes of Thomas Cromwell. Funny how that one act shapes the future of a nation through time.More to do with the longing for a healthy male heir, perhaps.
