A portrait of Catherine of Aragon comes to life in a gallery and continues to tell the night time security guard about her life. Henry VIII blamed Catherine for not giving him a son and as a result, he was determined to end his marriage and find a new wife who could give him what he wanted. A passage in the Bible was found that said if a man takes his brother's wife, they shall be childless. Catherine had previously been married to Henry's brother Arthur. With the help of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, divorce proceedings began. Henry had been married to Catherine for over 20 years and he had started a relationship with Anne Boleyn. Catherine refused to agree to divorce, so Henry got rid of Wolsey and divorced Catherine without the blessing of the Pope. The Pope was furious and banished Henry from the Roman church. But Henry no longer cared and he set up his own church which he called the Church of England.
