587historical_info = flavor_eng_diplomacy.1000.historical_info The marriage between Henry VIII, the future King of England, and Catherine of Aragon, the daughter of the Spanish monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, took place in 1509. The marriage was initially arranged with the intended goal of solidifying an alliance between England and Spain. The future Queen would struggle to conceive a male heir, which would become a significant issue and result in Henry seeking an annulment of his marriage.
