Anne of Cleves

Growing up in Cleves under the parsimonious boot of her brother, Anne was lucky to have been picked at the bride of Henry VIII after he saw a deceptively pretty portrait of her by Holbein.

However, Henry did not find her attractive and refused to consummate the marriage. He was grossly fat and suffered from a stinking leg abscess so Anne probably got lucky when he divorced her after less than 7 months of marriage.

She lived the rest of her life in England in luxury, happiness and honor. Anne never married again.
