  wife that would bear him a son. Because Anne
  Boleyn, Elizabeths mother, did not she was
  beheaded. Henry had as many as six wives, and out
  of those he got three children. Edward, Mary, and
  Elizabeth.

  became king. But he was a weak ruler, and died
  after only a year of ruling.

  after that. Mary was always jealous of Elizabeth
  and treated her cruelly.
• It would seem that Mary was pregnant, but upon
  her death she had no child, and many historians
  believe that what was actually inside of her was
  a large ovarian cyst.
