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.

Who did Henry VIII call a horse?
No of course not. But Henry VIII (1491 - 1547)apparently did refer to his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves (1515 - 1557), as "The Flanders Mare", because he only saw her in a portrait before he married her, and when he saw her in real life, he didn't like what he saw. He did go ahead and marry her on 6 January 1540, but annulled the marriage 6 months later in July, as he didn't want to consummate it. She did get a generous settlement though, and stayed friends with Henry.
