Manage episode 375987163 series 1399158
Born in 1515, Anne grew up in Germany and was the sister of the Duke of Cleves. In 1539, King Henry VIII was on the lookout for a new wife, and Anne was suggested as a suitable candidate. After seeing a portrait of Anne, Henry agreed to the marriage and Anne made her way to England to be wed.
However, upon meeting Anne in person, Henry was disappointed with her appearance and the marriage was never consummated. Nevertheless, Anne remained in England and was granted a generous settlement by the king upon their annulment.
Despite the disappointment of her marriage, Anne remained in England and became a beloved figure at court. She was known for her kindness and intelligence, and even after her death in 1557, she continued to be remembered fondly by those who knew her.
While Anne of Cleves may not have had a successful marriage to King Henry VIII, her story is one of perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity. She remains a fascinating figure in Tudor history and her legacy continues to be celebrated to this day.
