One of them married the wrong Henry

Elizabeth of York’s 1486 marriage to Henry VII united the Yorkist and Lancastrian claims and helped bring an end to the Wars of the Roses. Decades later, Catherine of Aragon remained a loyal queen for over 20 years, but when she failed to produce a surviving male heir, Henry VIII sought an annulment. The refusal led to England breaking from the Catholic Church and the start of the English Reformation

Husband wants a son instead rather underplays the fact that being unable to produce an heir pretty much guarantees a return to vicious civil war. The war of the roses lasted for 30 years and killed around 100k people when the population of England was like 2 million, around 5x more than the british population killed by WW2. Henry 8th was born only a couple of years after that ended, and would have been extremely aware of the risk of not having an heir.
