She gets a bad rap in history - but here's why she shouldn't.
Anne of Cleves gets a historically bad rap. This is in no small part because she will forever be remembered as Henry VIII’s ‘ugly’ wife; ‘the Flanders Mare.’ Which seems pretty bullshit, because:
For her part, Anne was thrilled. Finally, she’d get away from her oppressive family and get to live her own life! But Anne wasn’t a quitter. She spent the long journey to England trying to pick up the language and customs, and learned games that Henry liked. She was aiming to wow!Henry was both a tyrant and a romantic, a combination that basically guarantees dickery. True to dick form, he decided to don a disguise to meet his new bride, sure that their love would be so strong, she would immediately see through the ruse and leap into his arms.
So Anne played the game. She learnt from past players’ mistakes . Though she shared a lot of their personality traits , Anne worked hard to play this down for the volatile King Henry.During her short reign as Queen, Anne of Cleves implemented no major changes. This will be the only time I ever say this, but: doing absolutely nothing was the best thing she could have done!
After this incident, Anne made sure to double down on her docile ruse and soon, she looked on track to escape this marriage with her head. Win! But that wasn’t the only thing she wanted. However, she was resolute on staying in England. She had started to realize the full level of her disgrace should she return to Cleves and genuinely feared that her brother may kill her in retaliation for her failure as a wife.Henry demanded Anne send him her written agreement to his offer of a divorce. But Anne needed more time to think and make sure she was completely safe…so she refused Henry Vlll, steadfast that she would only speak to the King in person.
