3 posts | 2 read | 3 to read

Anne of Cleves left her homeland in 1539 to marry the king of England. She was not brought up to be a queen, yet out of many possible choices she was the bride Henry VIII chose as his fourth wife. But, from their first meeting the king decided he liked her not and sought an immediate divorce. After just six months their marriage was annulled, leaving Anne one of the wealthiest women in England. This is the story of Anne's marriage to Henry, how the daughter of Cleves survived him and her life afterwards. The latest in the series of popular Tudor biographies from Sarah-Beth Watkins, author of Lady Katherine Knollys: The Unacknowledged Daughter of King Henry VIII

Anne of Cleves: Henry VIII's Unwanted Wife | Sarah-Beth Watkins

The only nonfiction I have read about Henry‘s wives, and the most difficult. It contains all the pertinent facts but I don‘t have a feeling of what she was like. I look forward to Allison Weir‘s next book in her historical fiction series including a book on each wife, which will be about Anne of Cleves.

Literary_Siren Allison Weir, Jean Plaidy and Philippa Gregory are the best writers when it comes to the Tudors. 6y

SaraFair I agree @Literary_Siren! I love searching for them in used book stores. 6y
