(2) A son, Henry, Duke of Cornwall, was born on New Year's Day 1511. On 23 February 1511 the young prince died suddenly, living only 52 days. The cause of his death was not recorded. (3)In 1513, Catherine was pregnant again. Catherine had lost another son when Henry returned from France. He was either stillborn or died shortly after birth. (4) In December 1514, she had another son, Prince Henry who died shortly after birth. (5) On 18 February 1516, Catherine delivered a healthy girl.She was named Mary and christened three days later with great ceremony at the Church of Observant Friars. (6) In 1518, Catherine became pregnant for the last time. She gave birth to a daughter on 10 November, but the child was weak and lived either only a few hours or at most a week. Catherine was pregnant six times altogether." Therefore, she was the mother of six of Henry VIII's children. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_of_AragonStephanie A.
