Today (January 6th) Henry VIII married Anne of Cleves (in 1540), his fourth wife. I've got all these loose drawings lying around, like the above, and I might as well post them. I don't remember who I did this for, but there are a few more in the series with a similar theme, which might be called Royalty Misbehaving.

ReplyDeleteHey Richard- Anne of Cleves
ReplyDeleteprobably made out the best of all
Henry VIII's wives; she kept her head and Henry gave her a manor for letting him off the marriage hook.
Your pal,
Ann
Thanks, Cheese!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann. Amy tells me that Anne of C was too homely, so Henry canceled the deal. In the Charles Laughton movie she was played by Elsa Lancaster.
Right- Hans Holbein used a bit of creative license painting her portrait so Henry was a bit shocked when he met the real thing. Which is ironic considering what Henry looked like in 1540.
