Why did Henry VIII decide to divorce Catherine of Aragon?

Correct Answer: She was too old to give him another child

Henry VIII sought to end his marriage to Catherine of Aragon because she had failed to produce a surviving male heir, and was considered too old to have more children.

He believed a son was essential for the stability of the realm. His repeated requests to the Pope for an annulment were refused, ultimately driving Henry to break with the Catholic Church and establish the Church of England.
