Who was the first wife of Henry VIII?

Correct Answer: Catherine of Aragon

Catherine of Aragon was the first wife of Henry VIII. She was originally from Spain and had previously been married to Henry's older brother, Arthur.

When Catherine failed to produce a male heir, Henry sought an annulment from the Pope. The Pope's refusal led Henry to break away from the Roman Catholic Church and establish the Church of England.
