This is very interesting to me. I am doing my geneology and found that Henry VIII is my 12th great-grand uncle. I am descended from Henry’s mother and one of her children of her first marriage to another man before she married King Edward, Henry’s father. She is my 13th great-grandmother.

Henry VIII’s father was Henry VII, whose father was Edmund Tudor. Henry VII married Elizabeth, the daughter of King Edward IV.

Henrys Dad was also Henry, not Edward...

Also henry’s mother never had any children from a previous marriage...

She was never married beofere she married Henry VII, the father of Hentu VIII

Who told you you were descended from her ???

Others have pointed out that Henry VIII’s father was Henry VII, not an Edward. You may be referring to Elizabeth Woodville, the mother of Henry VII’s queen and the grandmother of Henry VIII. Elizabeth Woodville was married once before she married Edward IV, who was Henry VIII’s grandfather.
