She was beautiful, Henry was just annoyed she rejected him when he had approached her (mind you, she had never met him before) in a mask and presented her flowers, in the fashion of an old medieval romance book. Out of spite, he called her ugly. She accepted his divorce request without hesitation, which he appreciated, and allowed her to live in England with the title "the King's Beloved Sister."
Great video and history as always. When I saw the title, I remembered the line from the Henry the 8th song I found: "Ann of Cleves was four, I fell for the portrait I saw then laid eyes on her face and cried "she's a horse, I must have another devorce".
Wow, she looks so beautiful and fragile in her portraits. But it's well known, people at that time had done what we do with filters and photoshop today

It's ironic that the one wife Henry never claimed to love would live the longest. She even survived Katherine Parr, his last wife.

Henry the 8th got butthurt when she friendzoned him. 😂😂😂
"He would dispatch two of his wives with a sharp axe blade" Well actually Anne Boleyn was exectued by a sword, not an axe.
TLDR Henry acted like an ass to her and blamed Cromwell for it

She looks like Hillary Clinton.
No creuler passage has ever been aimed at a medieval monard. Well done. 😂
Not a little bit
She wasn’t ugly at all but she was rather plain looking. But people also said that Anne Boleyn was not pretty either.
