Notes
General:
The marriage was declared null and void on 9 July 1540, just six months after the marriage.
Anne of Cleves also known as "The Mare of Flanders” (September 22, 1515 - July 16, 1557) was the queen consort of Henry VIII of England from January 6, 1540 to July 9, 1540.
This complimentary portrait of Anne Cleves by Hans Holbein the Younger hid the evidence of her smallpox scars. Anne was born on September 22, 1515, at Düsseldorf, the daughter of John III, ruler of the German duchy of Cleves. As a leader of the Protestant faith, he was deemed a suitable ally for Henry in the aftermath of the Reformation, and the match was urged on the king by his chancellor, Thomas Cromwell. The artist Hans Holbein the Younger was dispatched to paint a portrait of Anne, and Henry was pleased with the result. It was usual for court painters to be complimentary in their portrayal of important people, and it is thought likely that Holbein covered up the evidence of Anne's smallpox scars.
This traditional image of Anne as being 'the ugly queen' was very prevalent amongst traditional historians however more recent viewpoints suggest that it is more likely she found Henry to be the ugly one (he was by this time grossly obese) and purposefully made him dislike her. Another theory suggests that they agreed that they just did not gel with each other and split on amicable terms- this theory is supported by the good settlement she received.
The marriage occurred on January 6 at the royal Palace of Placentia in Greenwich, London despite any misgivings by either party. Anne of Cleves married Henry VIII site unseen. Although Henry slept at Anne's side, the marriage was never consummated and the couple are said to have spent the night hours playing cards together. The marriage was annulled on July 9, 1540, on the grounds that their marriage had never been consummated. Anne, who had been sent by the King to Richmond Palace for her health, open air and pleasure, raised no objection to the divorce proceedings. she was given a generous settlement, including Hever Castle, home of Henry's former in-laws the Boleyns. Made a Princess of England and called "sister" by her former husband, Anne remained in England for the rest of her life. Henry and Anne remained good friends after the divorce. She was the last of Henry's six wives to die, in London, on July 16, 1557, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. By then, she had converted to Roman Catholicism, and remained on good terms with one-time stepdaughter Princess Mary (also known as "Bloody Mary") Tudor.
It was Sir Horace Walpole, writing in the 18th-century, who resurrected the myth which described Anne as "the Flanders Mare" - a monument to ugliness. This view persisted, and it is still a popular stereotype. Most historians, however, disagree with it. The most accurate, sympathetic and logical study of Anne's life comes from American feminist, activist and writer, Karen Lindsey, in her 1995 book "Divorced, Beheaded, Survived".
