Which of Henry VIII's Wives Are You?

Congratulations!

You are Anna of Cleves!

Anna of Cleves got the royal shaft. She came all the way to England to become the fourth wife of Henry VIII. Once married to Anna, he refused to consummate the marriage, and called her the "Flanders Mare". Talk about a burn, considering that by this time, Henry was the fattest man in England and had a rotting syphilis sore on his leg.
Anna was miffed, but she was too sensible to let it ruin her fun.
She was given an annulment and a fat yearly allowance, and she threw extravagant parties and dined on delicacies for the rest of her life.

  2. Carmen, I'm starting to think we are twins separated at birth - I'm scoring the same as you on all of these quizzes.

    Number 7, Anna of Cleves, Gingerbread house. Spooky, huh?

  3. Hi,
    Thanks for the translation and emailing it to me.
    Looks like I was a target of a spam advert.
    So I'll just be ignoring that.
    But once again, thank you.
