<< Catherine of Aragon's sons had died either in infancy or were stillborn.
She was old and couldn't have any more children any more. If Henry remained a
Catholic he couldn't remarry unless his wife died. >>
And Henry couldn't pursue an early death for Catherine as he did with some of
his subsequent wives, without pissing off the extremely powerful Philip of
Spain, Catherine's brother.
