6. Disregard for Children’s Well-being
King Henry VIII’s treatment of his children often prioritized political ambitions over their personal well-being, leading to lasting trauma. His daughter, Mary I, was declared illegitimate after his marriage to Catherine of Aragon was annulled, causing her emotional distress and health issues. Similarly, his son, Edward VI, was manipulated to exclude Mary from the line of succession, resulting in familial discord and instability (en.wikipedia.org).
