Intro

Henry VIII

You are Anne of Cleves, formerly the fourth wife of Henry VIII, ex-Queen of England

Henry VIII

All those years ago, on your wedding day, Henry had shown no trace of joy. It was because your looks did not meet his expectations and did not speak English. Henry did not understand German. You both couldn't communicate at all at first.

Henry VIII

To break the deadlock you could only accompany Henry in the card games he loved. But Henry never developed any affection for you. On your wedding night, his disgust reached its peak when he refused to consummate the marriage, claiming that he believed you weren't a virgin, even though you were.

Henry VIII

Despite Henry's dislike for you, you earned love from his two daughters, Anne and Mary, who considered you to be their second mother.

Henry VIII

Not long after, Henry used your "lack of virginity" as an excuse to declare the marriage null and void.
