    It wasn’t actually Anne of Cleves looks that got her divorced, yet it was how she had damaged his ego when they first met. So he simply didn’t want to admit the humiliation and based it on her looks.

    5:55 The fact that henry ordered the executioner of calais wasnt a gesture of love or kindness! he did it because anne was the first queen to be executed, so he was already taking a risk to his image by executing her. queens who committed adultery before anne were either kept on house arrest or sent to a nunnery. if anne had a botched, painful execution, word would get around and henry's image would have been ruined. and there's the fact that the way criminals were treated in prison and executed was according to their rank. for example, for some offences, commoners were hanged, drawn and quartered, while noblemen were beheaded, the least painful form of execution, because of their high rank. it was the custom. so while anne was an anointed queen, they had no choice but to get her an exceptional executioner and give her a decapitation by sword. it wasnt henry being merciful

    Some historians claim that it was in fact Anne of Cleves who was visibly disgusted when she first lay her eyes on the obese king. According to people his foul smell (he festering wounds) also made him unpleasant to be near. Henry VIII therefore instinctively reacted like a hurt child and probably thought:"No, I am NOT repulsive! SHE is! How dare she thinking such a handsome king like me looks repulsive?? That German harlot!" And the more she rejected him, the mere he made sure it was in fact *him* who had found *her* repulsive to those who chronicled his life.

    Anne of Cleves supposedly rejected him after he snuck into her room as she was coming to the palace, it was a tradition that the man would sneak into the woman's room and supposedly if they are meant to be she'd swoon for him. But Anne was frightened since Henry intended to hug he and take other liberties with her so she rejected him, which offended him and hurt his ego 😭

    • @KL-ki8db
      @KL-ki8db Před rokem +3

      Don't think it was tradition. It was more based on Henry's fantasies of his story books namely Robin Hood. It would be very understandable for Anna to be frightened and offended because where she came from it was greatly frowned upon to do what Henry did.

      right??? like,, katherine was also in a way, abused?? all she literally wanted was a friend in the palace and when she finally found one, that dude (who i believe is her cousin) also wanted her for her body (much like the previous guys or her "lovers" i think) and when howard rejecting him, he literally r*ped and blackmailed her for it
      at least from what i've been told

    When I first ever heard of the rhyme, I thought each wife of his was divorced, then sent to be executed, and some died, others didn't. Then I heard about Six, and realized:
    "Oh, each word is what each wife had as their fate..."

    Anne of Cleves portrait was actually accurate, Henry was just dumb and tried to impress her with a french tradition of cosplaying as a peasant even though she was german. She shouted at him and ecen when she apologized Henry insulted her
