In OTL King Henry VIII broke ties with Pope when the latter refused to grant him an annulment to hi marriage with Catherine of Aragon...
Henry VIII was a devout Catholic all his time and during his youth he was prepared to enter the clergy but his brother's sudden death changed his plans.
WI Henry VIII doesnt break with Rome and tries to find another way instead to secure a heir for his crown? Like having a bastard with one of his mistresses and then forces the Parliament to aknowledge his natural son as his heir? Or (this is far fetched though) wait for Catherine to die and then remarry and have a legitimate heir?
