My birthday is February 18, 1516. I am the only surviving child of King Henry VII's first wife Catherine of Aragon.
I was the queen of England for a short five years, (1553-1558). I was proclaimed queen on July 19, 1553. I was the first reigning queen since the disputed Mathilda in the 12th century. I also never had any children of my own to continue my dynasty in England. Next after me was my half sister Elezabeth I.
