She'd given Henry a son before any of this Papal Authority trouble started, and he recognized the son.

So why didn't King Henry the Eighth simply take Elizabeth as his second wife?


(in OTL, Blount later had three more kids, so we know the firstborn didn't do any damage to her)

Probably because IIRC by the time he wanted a second wife he was actually in love with Anne Boleyn ?

Different question, tho, well done !
