Anne of Cleves was Henry's least favorite wife. He liked her "not at all" . Even prior to their wedding ceremony he put his advisors to work, trying to get himself released from the betrothal. He tells others that she stinks and is not physically attractive. This is the only wife Henry agreed to marry before actually getting a look at her in person. She was also only the second of his wives that were from Another Country. Her portrait shows a pleasant faced woman, attractive in her own way, far prettier in my opinion than his fifth wife Catherine Howard. Henry never consummated his marriage to Anne of Cleves, leaving himself an out. If the marriage wasn't consummated, there would be no further heirs to the Tudor line and Henry's counsel wanted more males. Ultimately Henry fell in love again, quickly to Catherine Howard, Anne Boleyn's cousin and Anne of Cleves, perhaps relieved that she was going to keep her head agreed quickly to an annulment and lived out her days as the King's own sister, the Dowager Princess

∙ 13y agoIt is a matter of opinion or taste. After all beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
However if you think about in the POV of the King, he considered Anne of Cleves (his 4th wife) to be ugly.
