Anne of Cleves: Henry VIII's Unwanted Wife Reviews

3.5
“Es la primera vez que leo algo sobre Ana de cleves. Fue un libro muy interesante, ella una mujer que supo adaptarse y que junto con la 6a esposa de Enrique viii, no tubo un fin trágico.”
“I am very late in my review of this book but I thoroughly enjoyed Sarah-Beth Watkins book about Anne of Cleves. Anne of Cleves left her homeland in 1539 to marry the king of England. She was not brought up to be a queen, yet out of many possible choices she was the bride Henry VIII chose as his fourth wife. This is the Queen that King Henry VIII immediately divorced as she was "not pretty enough". After just six months their marriage was annulled, leaving Anne one of the wealthiest women in England. This is the story of Anne's marriage to Henry, how the daughter of Cleves survived him and her life afterwards. We always hear about Catherine of Aragon or Anne Boleyn or Katherine Howard but Anne of Cleves always gets left behind. This book gives Anne of Cleves the recognition she needs. It was well written, well research and any history buff would enjoy this book!”
