Ibid., Preface, xiii. s Letters and Papers, etc. iv. iii. p. 2579. A General Council had pronounced against su-h a dispensation; ibid. IV. iii. p. 2365. The marriage was in one sense singularly unfortunate. The first four children were either stillborn or died soon after birth; and it was rumoured in Rome as early as 1514 that Henry might ask to be divorced in order to save England from a disputed succession. Mary was born in 1516 and survived, but all the children who came afterwards were either stillborn or died in early infancy. It became evident by 1525 that if Henry did not divorce his wife he would have no male heir. There is no doubt that the lack of a male heir troubled Henry greatly. The English people had not been accustomed to a female sovereign; it was currently, if erroneously, reported in England that the laws of the land did not permit a woman to be sovereign, and such wellinformed diplomatists as the Venetian Ambassadors believed the statement;1 and the Tudor dynasty was not so firmly settled on the throne that it could afford to look forward to a disputed succession. The King's first idea was to ask the Pope to legitimise his illegitimate son the Duke of Richmond; 2 and Cardinal Campeggio actually suggested that the Princess Mary should be married to her halfbrother.3 These projects came to an end with the death of the young Prince. There seems to be no reason for questioning the sincerity of Henry's doubts about the legitimacy of his marriage with Catharine, or that he actually looked upon the repeated destruction of his hopes of a male heir as a divine punishment for the sin of that contract.4 Questions ...
