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.
No, they did not consumate their marriage.
No. It would have been quite embarassing for Henry if he had, the reason that he gave for divorcing her was that he couldn't have sex with her....
No she did not. Henry was supposedly so 'disgusted' by her appearance that they never even consummated their union which in about 6-7 months time ended in annulment.
No, Henry's three children were born to Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour.
He married Anne of Cleves for diplomacy reasons.
Yes, to Catherine Parr.
Anne of Cleves and the last Catherine, Catherine Parr... Some like Anne Boleyn died directly because of Henry, and others like Jane Seymour died not directly because of Henry (like she died having a baby).
Ann spent her childhood in cleves which is in the low countires. It is believed that she had a very cruel and puritain upbringing in this very protestant court. Her brother ruled the household after her fathers mental deteriation and did so with a violence. He regurlary beat anne with a stick if she showed any sort of "wantonness". This may be why her and the notourisly hot blooded henry the 8th never consummated their marriage. It was reported that anne had a life long fear of her brother and this is why she chose to remain in england after her divorce.

He married Anne of Cleves for diplomacy reasons.
Yes, to Catherine Parr.
Excuse me, but this is King Henry the 8th, and a monk he was not. So we all know that there is no way his majesty left her a virigin because henry was after all a king and slept with anything in a dress or skirt or whatever so yes he did sleep with Anne of Cleeves. He slept with all his wives. It's a fact.
No children with Ann. He didn't like her and I doubt they spent one night together .

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.
Anne Boleyn marry Henry because Henry asked her to marry him.-0-
Type your answer here... she was 27 when she married Henry the 8th
No.
He had misgivings about his marriage to Anne Of Cleves. The couple's first night as husband and wife was not a happy one. Henry confided to Thomas Cromwell (his First Minister) that he had not consummated the marriage, saying, "I liked her before not well, but now I like her much worse"
Henry VIII, who's wives were; Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Katherine Seymour and Katherine Parr.
