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.
