Thankyou

Answer
Hello Lynne,

It is believed that Arthur, the Prince of Wales died of consumption at the age of 15; Henry VIII died of syphillis and  gout in 1546; Margaret died of a stroke in 1541; and Mary died in 1533 of unknown causes.  The three other children of Henry VII and Queen Elizabeth (Edmund, Elizabeth, and Katherine) allo died youngl.

Thanks for visiting AllExperts.

Expertise

I am knowledgeable about English history from about 1400 to 1688, and then from the reign of Victoria (after 1837). I have a particular interest in the monarchy and dynastic relations of Europe from 1800 onwards. I cannot answer questions regarding the latter Stuarts, the early Hanovers, and the politics of the 18th century.
