    • Henry VIII's Family Tree Explained

    ByNoemi Arellano-Summer

    Henry VIII is known for his six wives and for being the father of Elizabeth I, but he's less well-known for his ancestors, despite them being pretty wacky too.

    Henry is descended from the two families of that long-lived English dynasty, the Plantagenets: the house of Tudor on his father's side and the house of York on his mother's. Both have histories worth exploring.

    On his own, Henry brought six women and four children into the family, though one son was illegitimate.

    Though he had no living grandchildren, his family tree and dynasty continued through his sister Margaret's heirs of Scotland, the house of Stuart, especially as Elizabeth I left the throne of England to her Stuart cousin, James VI of Scotland (via National Museums Scotland).

    Henry VIII was the eventual result of several family branches fighting over a throne, and the survivors finally deciding to marry each other and have children.
