Anne of Cleves
Anne of Cleves was a German noblewoman, and was probably Henry VIII's least popular wife! She was his fourth attempt at marriage, and he married her without seeing her beforehand. He was very disappointed and apparently quite rude when he finally met her! After they were married he said: "I liked her before not well, but now I like her much worse". Poor Anne!
The marriage was over within 6 months, so Anne was only Queen of England from January 1540 to July 1540. After the marriage was annulled (cancelled), Anne received a large sum of money and some grand houses to live in. She and Henry became good friends and Anne was known as "the King's Beloved Sister". Henry decreed that, apart from his own wife and daughters, she was the most important woman in the country.
