Lol! Yeah, he he lived then, he would have pursued her!

From everything I have read, Anne’s portrait was accurate and her contemporaries describe her as a kind, sweet woman.

Eventually, she was able to become good friends with Henry, proving she was a bright woman, a survivor.

A combination of factors seemed to have led to the separation, but it is interesting to think that, had Anne of Cleves remained Henry’s wife, he might have had several smooth and happy last years.

I love the description by Karen Lindsey of Anne and Henry’s marriage:

If the stories of Henry’s first two marriages, are high tragedy, with Henry as the destroyer of two strong but ultimately helpless women, that of his fourth is broad comedy; the narcisisstic buffoon foiled by a woman with common sense.
