Cautionary Note: Questionable ties to children.

Cleves was a dukedom in modern day Germany and Anne was the sister of i ts
ruler, Duke William. Born in 1515, she was given a sheltered upbringin g, and
was less educated and worldly than Henry's previous wives. Henry ap proved of
her portrait, so in 1539 a marriage treaty was signed and Anne s et sail for
England.

When she arrived Henry was so eager to see her that he raced to where s he was
staying and burst in upon her unannounced. Anne didn't speak Englis h, didn't
know who this fat stranger was, and was busy watching somethi ng out the
window, so she more or less ignored Henry. The king's pride w as wounded. "I
like her not!" he told all and sundry. He found her ug ly - downright
repulsive - and the last thing he wanted to do was marry he r.

But Henry couldn't wriggle out of his treaty with Cleves. The wedding to ok
place on January 6, 1540 with the groom protesting every step of the wa y. At
first Anne had no idea that her husband was displeased with her. S he told her
ladies, "Why, when he comes to bed he kisseth me, and take th me by the hand,
and biddeth me 'Good night, sweetheart.'" Her ladies h ad to tell her that
this wasn't enough to cause a pregnancy.

Eventually Anne learned that her husband wished to be rid of her. She w as
shrewd enough to realize that her life was in danger. To Henry's amazem ent,
she cooperated with his desire to have the marriage annulled. Relieve d, he
gave her money and property and treated her very well. Anne remain ed in
England, and never remarried. Henry called her his sister and oft en invited
her to court. She outlived Henry and was certainly the most for tunate of his
wives.

Less than twenty days after his marriage to Anne of Cleves ended, Henry ma
rried his fifth wife.
