It is often said that Henry VIII referred to her as the 'Flanders Mare' but if he did he would only have said this in private. Prior to her marriage with Henry she was referred to as 'the Lady of Cleves' and during her brief marriage she was called 'Queen Anne' by virtue of her being the King's wife (she was not crowned). After the divorce and due to the amiable relationship that formed between Henry and Anne she was referred to as the king's 'sister'.
