Catherine of Aragon - First wife of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547)
The Spanish princess, who had previously been married to Henry's brother Arthur, Catherine of Aragon (1485 - 1536), was unable to provide Henry with a male heir; which he desperately wanted, despite six pregnancies and only one living daughter (Mary). After Henry became enamoured of Anne Boleyn, he decided to divorce Catherine in 1533 and eventually had their marriage annulled. Her health went into decline and she died on 7 January 1536.
