After the tragic death of his third wife, Jane Seymour, shortly after giving birth to their son, Edward, eventually Henry VIII was persuaded to marry again. But this fourth wife, Anne of Cleves was chosen via a portrait Henry had commissioned, and when he saw her in the flesh, he was extremely unhappy with her appearance (he called her "the Flanders Mare"). The marriage did go ahead, however, on 6 January 1540, but Henry refused to consummate the marriage, so this was also annulled. However, at least Anne of Cleves was generously "paid off" and did not lose her head.
