Listen to the biography and take some notes

Henry VIII himself wasn’t supposed to have been king. Throughout his early life, he watched as his older brother, Arthur, prepared to be next king. At 15, Arthur was married to Catherine of Aragon (who was given away at the wedding by a 10-year-old Henry) and settled down to start his dynasty. Arthur came down with a sweating sickness a year after his marriage. While Catherine also became ill and survived, her husband unfortunately passed.

One year after Arthur's death, Henry VII renewed his efforts to seal a marital alliance with Spain by arranging for Catherine to marry Arthur's younger brother Henry, who would ascend to the throne in 1509 as King Henry VIII.

Back

With nine children of her own, who in turn gave her 42 grandchildren, it's hardly a stretch to understand why the iconic Queen was nicknamed "the grandmother of Europe." But while Victoria herself died in 1901, leaving the throne to her eldest son, King Edward VII, the queen's legacy on the monarchies of Europe lives on even in modern times. Indeed, of the approximately 28 surviving monarchies around the world, five of them are held by descendants of Victoria.
