After the tragic death of his third wife, Jane Seymour (c1504-09 - 1537), within days of giving birth to his only legitimate son Edward; 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, and when he saw her in the flesh, he was extremely unhappy with her appearance (he called her "the Flanders Mare"). He refused to consummate the marriage, so this was annulled, but at least Anne of Cleves was "paid off" and did not lose her head. She received a generous divorce settlement and remained on good terms with the King.
