Best Answer

Henry's brother Arthur was to marry his first wife Cathrine of Aragon,a spanish princess,when he became very sick and died. Henry's family did not want to upset Cathrine's by sending her back, so they arranged for her to marry Henry. Henry was about 11 at the time so he had to wait a few years before marrying her.

Why did Henry viii have more wives after he had a son that survoived?

The mortality rate at that time was very high for children and one son was quite simply not enough. Had Edward died during childhood, or indeed at any time, there would have been no heir to take his place. Henry needed more than one son. Edward did succeed to the throne but he died during his teenage years. Had there been another son, who would have taken precedence over daughters, then that son would have become king and Mary and Elizabeth would have been further down the list of successors.

It is hard to speculate how things would have been different if Mary Tudor had been born a boy. There might not have been an Edward though because if Catherine of Aragon had given birth to a boy that lived longer than a month Henry probably would not have divorced her to marry Anne Boleyn.
