Born and died on this day in 1510 to King Henry VIII of England and Catherine of Aragon,an un-named daughter(my toy,wikipedia). The BBC are doing an adaption of Hillary Mantel's Wolf Hall at the moment which makes this almost topical (although I promise not to do too many of these, they get rather depressing). Catherine was pregnant many times but had only one child (Princess, later Queen, Mary) who lived to adulthood; Henry's lack of sons was one of the reasons he wanted rid of Catherine so he could marry again.
