FAQ About Catherine of Aragon
Why was Catherine of Aragon's marriage annulled?
Catherine of Aragon's marriage was annulled because Henry VIII believed that their union was cursed due to it being his brother's widow and her inability to produce a male heir. This belief, compounded by his desire to marry Anne Boleyn, led to his quest for annulment, which was ultimately denied by the Pope, prompting the creation of the Church of England.
