Tudor Dynasty.

Henry VII and his consort Elizabeth of York had at least 7 or 8 children, but only 4 survived infancy and childhood. Prince Author died shortly after his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, making Henry the heir. WI: Other children had survived to adulthood? Especially other sons? Would Henry still have sought a divorce from Catherine, failing a male heir? Or would a younger brother or nephew been made heir apparent after Princess Mary? Or maybe Mary would have been married to a first cousin?

If Henry has a surviving son, then he will have no reason to divorce Catherine.
