Henry is soundly rejected by some of Europe's most eligible princesses, but Anna of Kleve - a small German duchy - is twenty-four and eager to wed. Henry is entranced by the lovely portrait, only to be bitterly surprised when Anna arrives in England and he sees her in the flesh. What follows is a fascinating story of this awkward royal union that had to somehow be terminated tactfully.
