Was Anne of Cleves the Original Catfish?
Rumor has it that King Henry VIII was tricked into marrying his fourth wife after seeing her beguiling portrait, but it may have been a clash of personalities and cultures that doomed their union from the start.

A 19th century copy, this portrait is traditionally held to be Anna of Cleves’ elder sister Sybylla w her eldest son. It is more likely of Sybylla’s mother-in-law Sophie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin w Sybylla’s husband Johann Friedrich. #anneofcleves #annaofcleves #lutheran

Friends, if you want to learn about Anna of Cleves and why her marriage ended, maybe don’t trust Henry VIII, the 16th century English, or their records. Maybe read books researched and written from the German perspective, which mine are. #annaofcleves #anneofcleves #henryviii

Overcoming past incorrect information is the hardest task for any historian. With Anna of Cleves people really want to believe that she was ugly & the annulment wasn’t about politics. You can read more in my books, the only ones researched from the German perspective. #anneofcleves #annaofcleves
