Henry VIII had three legitimate children:

Mary I (DOB 18/2/1516 Mother: Catherine of Aragon marriage was annulled)

Elizabeth I (DOB 7/9/1533 Mother: Anne Boleyn. Later executed for adultery, incest and witchcraft and Elizabeth declared illegitimate)

Edward VI (DOB 12/10/1537 Mother: Jane Symore who died in child birth)

Henry also fathered at least one illegitimate child:

Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Somerset (DOB 15/6/1519 Mother Elizabeth Blount).

It is also suggested that he may have had another son by Mary Boleyn Sir Henry Carey, Baron Hunson however there is no contemporary evidence to support this theory.

Henry VIII had four living children with four different women:

  • Henry Fitzroy, a result of an affair with Bessie Blount
  • Mary (known during her reign as queen as Bloody Mary), with his first wife, Queen Katherine of Aragon
  • Elizabeth (who would later become Queen Elizabeth I and rule England for over forty years), with his second wife, Anne Boleyn
  • Edward (who died not long after ascending to the throne as a young boy), with his third wife, Jane Seymour

Mary, ( daughter of Catherine of Aragon, 1st wife of Henry)

Elizabeth ( daughter of Anne Boleyn, Henry's 2nd wife)

Edward Vl (Son of Jane Seymour, Henry's 3rd wife)

Those which survived childhood were Edward VI (1547-53)Mary I (1553-58)and Elizabeth I (1558-1603)He also had a child with a mistress called Henry Fiztroy

Henry VIII had three legitimate children; Mary (later Queen Mary I), Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth I) and Edward (later King Edward VI).

King Henry the VIII had Four childrenMary, who became Queen Mary I. Her mother was Catherine of Aragon.Henry FitzRoy, illigitimate Son of his Mistress "Bessie" Blounce. Henry FitzRoy was made the Duke of Richmond In June 1525 In what was a path to legitimatizing him.Elizabeth, who became Queen Elizabeth I Her mother was Anne Boleyn,Edward, who became King Edward VI. His mother was Jane Seymour.

He had three kids MaryI,(Catherine of Aragon's daughter) ElizabethI, (Anne Boleyn'sdaughter) and EdwardVI (Jane Seymour's son)

Henry also had an acknowledged illegitimate son:

Henry Fitzroy (1519 - 1536) Duke of Richmond (by Henry's mistress Elizabeth Blount)

There may have been other illegitimate children, possibly by Mary Boleyn, (and in particular her son, Henry Carey) another of Henry's mistresses and sister of Anne Boleyn; but they have not been confirmed or acknowledged, probably because of the timing of the relationship between Henry and Mary Boleyn.

The children, and their respective mothers, of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) are:

Mary I (1516 - 1558) by Catherine of Aragon - first wife (1485 - 1536)

Elizabeth I (1533 - 1603) by Anne Boleyn - second wife (c1501-07 - 1536)

Edward VI (1537 - 1553) by Jane Seymour - third wife (c1504-09 - 1537)

Catherine of Aragon did give birth to six children, but apart from Mary, they were stillborn or died within a few weeks. Anne Boleyn had at least two miscarriages.

Anne of Cleves (1515 - 1557)

Catherine Howard (c1520 - 1542)

Katherine Parr (c1512 - 1548)

did not bear Henry any children.

Henry also had an acknowledged illegitimate son:

Henry Fitzroy (1519 - 1536) Duke of Richmond (by Henry's mistress Elizabeth Blount)

There may have been other illegitimate children, possibly by Mary Boleyn, (and in particular her son, Henry Carey) another of Henry's mistresses and sister of Anne Boleyn; but they have not been confirmed or acknowledged, probably because of the timing of Henry's relationship with Mary Boleyn.

King Henry VIII had three children, Mary 1th, Elizabeth 1th and Edward 6th.
Well as most of us know King Henry the 8TH had 3 children Edward who died young,Mary and Elizabeth.

But know we have our doubt about this and we think we know that king Henry infact had a affair with Mary Boleyn and they had 2 children one was a boy and one was a girl.

These were both illegitimate children as there parents werent married.

Mary Boleyn was Anne Boleyn's sister.

Henry VIII's first wife, Catherine of Aragon had several pregnancies which resulted in still birth or miscarriage. Her one surviving child was Mary, who later became Queen Mary I.

His second wife, Anne Boleyn, was the mother of the future Queen Elizabeth I.

His third wife, Jane Seymour was the mother of the future King Edward VI.

There was an acknowledged, illegitimate son, Henry FitzRoy, whose mother was Henry's mistress, Elizabeth (Bessy) Blount.
