Title: Was Anne of Cleves as ugly as you said
1Was Anne of Cleves as ugly as you said
She was actually quite good looking
No of course not, there could have been a bit of
artistic licence taken by Hans Holbien, but over
all she was quite a handsome girl. However,
because I rushed over to where she was staying,
with only a few friends, I made a surprise
entrance, she was dressed in German country type
clothes, and she had not good English. She did
not even recognise me as we entered the hall, she
shouted out which one of you is HENRY
This did upset me. I made my entrance and was
quick to get away. OK it was mean to call her a
Flemish Mare but , she was not what I expected
from a royal, too common. I married her, to stop
her homeland becoming an enemy, but I divorced
her after one month. She became my sister and I
gave her a handsome pension and property. Look
dont think too badly of me, she never went back
t her chores in Germany, she like England too
much now she was wealthy.
