Catherine did not provide him with a male heir.
Henry’s chief concern was securing a legitimate male successor; Catherine bore several children but only their daughter Mary survived. His desire for a son (and his relationship with Anne Boleyn) led him to seek an annulment, which ultimately triggered the break with Rome when the Pope—under pressure from Catherine’s nephew, Emperor Charles V—refused.
