King Henry VIII faced a difficult decision regarding his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. After years of marriage, Catherine had only produced a daughter who could not inherit the throne under English law. Henry wanted to annul his marriage to pursue a new wife who could give him a male heir to secure the Tudor dynasty. This put him at odds with the Catholic Church, who would not grant an annulment.
