Which wife of Henry VIII had four husbands?
King Henry VIII of England married six times. His fourth wife was Anne of Cleves. Anne of Cleves
This is the info that I could get:
Anne of Cleves (divorced)
Born: 22 September, 1515 at Dusseldorf, Cleves, Germany.
Nationality: German
Married Henry:6 January, 1540 at Greenwich Palace, London.
Divorced: 9 July, 1540
Died: 16 July,1557 at Chelsea Old Palace, London
Buried: Westminster Abbey.
Anne was born in 1515 in the small north German state of Cleves (close to the border of Holland). Her parents were John III of Cleves and Marie of Julich. Anne married Henry in 1540 to form a tie between England and the Protestant princes of Germany. After only six months Henry found the political alliance no longer to be to his advantage and so divorced her the same year. She died in 1557.
Anne of Cleves. She and Henry were married in 1540 but the marriage was not a success. Henry found her unappealing on just about every level. The marriage had been arranged largely for purposes of political alliance. The marriage negotiations took a long time and by the time Anne had arrived in England the need for the alliance which she represented was already passing. Henry claimed the marriage had never been consummated and he saw little reason to remain tied to Anne for life. She was very sensible about all this and settled for the title of "King's sister" and a comfortable endowment.
King Henry VIII's fourth wife was Anne of Cleves. The King agreed to marry her based upon a portrait, but upon seeing her, he decided he could not be happy with her as he was not physically attracted to Anne. Based on the news that Anne had previously been betrothed to another Francis of Lorraine, the King sought an annulment from Anne. She agreed to the terms of the annulment and was given a generous settlement including Hever castle. In addition, she was granted the title of the King's Beloved Sister. Besides the King's future wives and daughters, Anne of Cleves was held in the highest esteem of Henry.
It was Anne of Cleves.
Anne Of Cleeves was Henry's fourth wife, for only six months in 1540, from January 6th to July 9. She has become known as "The Flanders Mare" because the king is said to have disliked her appearance. Her pre-contract of marriage with Francis, Duke of Lorraine, was cited as grounds for an annulment. Anne agreed to this, claiming that the marriage had not been consummated, and she was given a generous settlement, including Hever Castle, former home of Henry's former in-laws, the Boleyns. She was given the name "The King's Sister", and became a friend to him and his children. She outlived both the king and his last two wives.
After the tragic death of his third wife, Jane Seymour, who died after giving birth to their son Edward; Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) was eventually persuaded to marry again. However, this fourth wife, Anne of Cleves (1515 - 1557) a German noblewoman, 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"). Although he went ahead with marrying Anne on 6 January 1540, he refused to consummate the marriage, so this was annulled, but at least Anne of Cleves was generously "paid off" and did not lose her head.
