The Trial of Queen Catherine of Aragon in 1529, the first wife of Henry VIII, whose marriage to the King was annulled. In 1525, Henry VIII was infatuated with Anne Boleyn and dissatisfied that his marriage to Catherine had produced no surviving sons. Pope Clement VII refused to annul the marriage, so Henry defied him by assuming supremacy over religious matters. In 1533 their marriage was consequently declared invalid and Henry married Anne on the judgement of clergy in England, without reference to the pope. Banished from she lived and died at Kimbolton Castle in 1536 of cancer.
