How many children did Henry VIII have?

Question

How many children did Henry VIII have?

Answer 1

Mary Tudor (18 February 1516 – 17 November 1558) the daughter of Catherine of Aragon. However she had a stillborn sister and three short-lived brothers, including Henry, Duke of Cornwall, had preceded her.

Elizabeth Tudor (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603) the daughter of Anne Boleyn.

Edward Tudor (12 October 1537 – 6 July 1553) the son of Jane Seymour.

Henry fathered five or six illegitimate children,  depending on whether Henry Carey, the son of Mary Boleyn was Henry VIII's natural child. Perhaps even many more.

Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond and Somerset (15 Jun 1519 - Jun 1536), the son of Elizabeth Bount.

Henry VIII reputedly sired two children with Mary Boleyn, Anne Boleyn's sister:

---Catherine Carey: (c. 1525 - 15 Jan 1568) m. Sir Francis Knollys, had issue.

---Henry Carey (Baron Hunsdon): 4 Mar 1526 - 23 Jul 1596) m. Ann Morgan in 1545, had issue. Historians are the least sure about Henry of all possible descendants of Henry VIII.

Henry also supposedly fathered two sons by Mary Berkeley:

---Sir Thomas Stucley (c. 1524 - 4 Aug 1578) m. Anne Curtis, had issue.

---Sir John Perrot (c. 1527 - Sep 1592) m. Ann Cheyney and Jane Pruet, had issue

Finally, he possibly fathered a daughter by Joan Dyngley:

Etheldreda Malte (1529 - aft. 1555) m. John Harrington 1546-48, no issue
