Q1: Why did Henry have a problem?

[Answer]

Henry VIII was a dashing young prince who was keen on the ladies.

But when his elder brother died, he became next in line to be king. So he needed heirs.

Henry was married to Catherine of Aragon. She bore him a son, but he soon died. Then she gave birth to Mary. By now Catherine was too old to have any more children. So Henry needed a new wife.
