Who were Henry children by Catherine of Aragon?

Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon had one surviving child:

* Mary I (1516-1558): She later became Queen of England, known as "Bloody Mary" for her religious persecution of Protestants.

They also had several children who died in infancy:

* Henry, Duke of Cornwall (1511): Died shortly after birth.

* A daughter (1510): Died shortly after birth.

* A son (1514): Stillborn.

* A daughter (1518): Died shortly after birth.

It's worth noting that the lack of a male heir was a major factor in Henry's decision to divorce Catherine and marry Anne Boleyn, which led to the English Reformation.
