Get the Anne Marie mug.(1515-1558) The fourth wife of Henry VIII. After the death of Jane Seymour, a new wife was sought for Henry, but his reputation preceded him; his main choices rejected him, making Anne of Cleves the front runner. The daughter of a German Duke, Anne was 24 when she married Henry in early 1540 but, unknown to her until later, Henry was repulsed by her. Described as pretty by everyone else, Henry (who was nearly fifty, obese, and had leg ulcers by then) said of his first sight of her "I like her not". Their introduction was a disaster, owing to mutual misunderstanding, beginning the marriage on a tenuous note.
After six months of marriage, Henry had the marriage annulled and offered to Anne property and estates in exchange that she remain in England. Initially devastated, Anne accepted and lived her days in wealth, answering to no man but to Henry, now as his "dear sister".

Anne of Cleves was olive-skinned, unlike the pallid Jane Seymour, and lacked the sophistication of Katherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn. Her unfamiliar German manners, exotic clothes, and German speech did not help matters. Henry, put off by her body, whined incessantly about how "ugly" that she was, suspecting that she wasn't a virgin, disregarding her sheltered upbringing and overprotective mother; at 24, Anne believed that a kiss from a man would make her pregnant.
Anne of Cleves, humiliated and hurt by the king, outlived Henry and his other wives, enjoyed the love of her stepchildren and her people, and died a contented woman.

Get the Aneeta mug.Extremely gorgeous girl, very competitive. She is the jealous type. Do not overdo her or she will destroy you. She loves to try new things. She loves watching sports, and playing sports. Hates anything too "girly" She will make a very loyal and loving girlfriend. Aneela does not care about what others think about her, and she is not afraid to tell you off at anytime. She is a strong girl and is willing to speak up for herself and her friends. If you ever make her angry, you will be living in regret because she does not forgive people easily. She is hard to get, but once you've got her, she is a keeper. Once you've lost her, she's gone forever.
