On January 1st, 1511 Henry, Duke of Cornwall, was born Prince and Heir Apparent to Henry VIII. His death the following month would be one of the causes of England's break with the Catholic Church, as Henry VIII was unable to produce any other male heirs at all which led to his desire for a divorce.
I'm sure that Henry VIII had many reasons for his break with the Catholic Church, but if you removed the need for a male heir and (as a byproduct) improved his relationship with Catherine of Aragon, would he have gone in the direction he did?
