  Now I am Anna of Cleves!





Which of Henry VIII's wives are you?
this quiz was made by Lori Fury


Anna of Cleves got the royal shaft. She came all the way to England to become the fourth wife of Henry VIII. Once married to Anna, he refused to consummate the marriage, and called her the "Flanders Mare". Talk about a burn, considering that by this time, Henry was the fattest man in England and had a rotting syphilis sore on his leg.

Anna was miffed, but she was too sensible to let it ruin her fun. She was given an annulment and a fat yearly allowance, and she threw extravagant parties and dined on delicacies for the rest of her life.

With thanks to Becky in Toon Town ;-)for this one!

I am Catarina of Aragon.

"Catarina was Henry's first wife and was probably the only one of his six wives to truly love him. He tired of her, and she spent the last decade of her life in lonely exile. Yet when she was dying, alone and unloved, she wrote: "Lastly, I make this vow, that mine eyes desire thee above all things. Farewell."

Phooey.
 
that is really just too creepy! Remember my friend who was also Grace Kelly like you were? She was also Catarina! :-o
 
LOL....maybe we're long lost sisters.
 
Ditto what Marls said! Now to go take the celebrity quiz.

Sheesh, the things I get up to whilst Gabz sleeps! *lol*
 
The mumma is also Catarina of Aragon. Long suffering first wife is truth. I wonder who'd be fool enough to be your dad's second?
 
Hey I came across this entry and something funny to add...is I was Grace Kelly in the actress quiz, and Catarina of Aragon in this quiz...like Marlene too...lol
 
Pfffft. You guys are making me feel very "un-unique"...lol. (Don't you just love the way I butchered the English language there?)
 
well we can't all be unique! That would make life far too unpredictable! ;-)
