Or you could drive East to Dover for a shoprter crossing, or west to Portsmouth for a longer one which will, obviously, start you farther west and south in france. |depends whereabouts you're headed. Another Answer Taking the question completely literally, I'd suggest the Newhaven-Dieppe ferry.

Did anne of cleves have any children with Henry the 8th?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

After the death of his third wife, Jane Seymour, Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) was eventually persuaded to marry again, but this fourth wife, Anne of Cleves (1515 - 1557) was chosen via a portrait Henry had commissioned from Hans Holbein. When he saw her in the flesh, on New Year's Day 1540, he was extremely unhappy with her appearance (apparently he called her "the Flanders Mare"). Although he went ahead and married Anne on 6 January 1540, Henry refused to consummate the marriage, so eventually this was annulled nearly 5 months later. Obviously, because of this situation, Anne of Cleves and Henry VIII did not produce children. But at least Anne was "paid off" and did not lose her head. She received a generous divorce settlement and remained on good terms with the king. Anne died in 1557, with declining health.

Was Ann Boleyn beautiful?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

By English standards - indeed by European standards of the time she was not considered beautiful. The ideals then (and for centuries before and after) was pale, fair haired and blue eyed. Anne had long dark hair (so long Archbhisop Cranmer described her as 'sitting in it') dark eyes and 'skin not so seemly white as above all we most admire' in other words she had what could be considered a mediterranean complexion, rather like a modern Italian. Indeed she was often compared to her predecessor Katherine of Aragon who in her youth truly reached the 'standards' of the time, having a beautiful pink and white complexion, and long red gold hair.

How old was Anne Boleyn when she had her first child?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Anne Boleyn's age is contentious and historians don't agree. Many historians now take her date of birth to be some time in 1501, although some historians say 1507.

Taking her date of birth as 1501, it means she was 32 when she had her only child, Elizabeth, and was 35 when she was executed in 1536.

Taking her date of birth as 1507, it means that she was 26 when she had Elizabeth, and 29 when she was executed.

Was elizabeth i the daughter of anne Boleyn?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pubically she never spoke about it, it would have been "bad PR" to be connected with her in her attitudes or virtues. In terms of her attitudes to being a monarch she modelled these on her father. Supposedly she had a small locket, in a ring or necklace, that had a small portrait of Anne Boleyn in it, which infers that privately she did like to remember her mother, but pubically she did not. Elizabeth was only young when Anne Boleyn died, so she couldn't of actually physically remember much, if anything at all.
