Then, the Westminster, a plan that Henry used to help Spain to attack France. In 1513, Henry invaded France and he win the battle of the Spurs.

The loss of my big brother ...Arthur...
Hello i`m henry and i have a bad news my big brther is dead.In 1502, Arthur died at the age of 15, after only 20 weeks of marriage to Catherine of Aragon. Arturo's death thrust all rights to his younger brother,10-year-old Henry, who later became Prince of Wales. Henry VII renewed its efforts to seal a marital alliance between England and Spain, giving his second son in marriage to Prince Arthur's widow, Catherine of Aragon, the youngest survivingson of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile.For the new Prince of Wales to marry the brother of the widow of a dispensation from the Pope usually required to clear the impediment of affinity, because, as said in the Book of Leviticus: "If a brother shall marry with the wife of a brother who is not having children. "Catalina swore that her marriage to Prince Arthur had not been consummated. However, both English and Spanish parties agreed that an additional papal dispensation of affinity would be prudent to eliminate any doubt about the legitimacy of marriage.

My first wife, Katherine of Aragon

Now that I am the king I need an heir and luckily, KatyA is expecting a baby. Oh Yeah!.
But I suppose you don't know anything about KatyA,
so I'm going to tell you some things about her:
-Fact 1: She was Born in the town of Alcala de Henares, on December 17th in 1485. She was the youngest daughter of King Fernando II and Queen Isabella I of Castile and great granddaughter of King Edward III of England and both fourth-degree cousin of King Henry VII and Queen Elizabeth of York.
-Fact 2: She was the one most like her mother; blonde, blue eyes, beautiful, determined,and intelligent.
-Fact 3: Received a thorough education attached to Catholicism worthy of a future queen, learning Romance languages from the Iberian peninsula, French, Flemish, English and, of course, Latin, and also arts such as dance and music.
The last I say to you is, that she will be THE PERFECT QUEEN and THE BEST WIFE :) (Luciana)
