About Henry, Duke of Cornwall in brief
Henry, Duke of Cornwall was born on 1 January 1511 at Richmond Palace. He was the first live-born child of King Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon. The prince was christened on 5 January in a lavish ceremony where beacons were lit in his honour. On 22 February 1511, the young prince died suddenly. The cause of his death was not recorded. His death and Henry VIII’s failure to produce another surviving male heir with Catherine led to succession and marriage crises.
This affected the relationship between the English church and Roman Catholicism, giving rise to the English Reformation. A living son by Catherine might have forestalled or even prevented the marriage to Anne Boleyn and placed England in a different relationship with Roman Catholicism.
