because, if you are talking about King Henry VIII and Anne of Cleves, he thought she 'looked like a horse'- in other words, he thought she wasn't much of a looker :/ this all happened because she lived very far away, and Henry couldn't be bothered to go see her so he sent for a painter to paint her but the painter had complimented her features so Henry would marry her. so, Henry married her because she looked (in the painting) pretty.

because he didn't have a boy baby they only had a girl and Catherine of Aragon couldn't have any more baby's so Henry divorced Catherine of aragon to marry Anne Boleyn

partly because in the picture of Anne Of Cleves she was pretty but not in real life and because she couldn't give Henry VIII a male child

When did Anne of Cleves divorce Henry VIII?

anne of cleves divorced Henry viii because he wanted a son and not a daughter. Henry VIII described Anne as a 'Flanders Mare': Not a nice way to think of the wife ! Henry claimed he had been misled about Anne's appearance. Hans Holbein (I think) painted a portrait of her that was, apparently, rather flattering. Henry didn't find Anne attractive and the marriage was annulled. After the annulment Anne remained in England and was referred to as the Royal Sister. An annulment is somewhat different to a divorce.
