Fun Fact: Holbein was known for painting accurate portraits, so Anna's portrait would've been closer to what she actually looked like. Henry actually dressed up as a peasant, barged in on her, and kissed her. Anna, knowing nothing about Henry in the first place, was disgusted and confused. Henry, who didn't like how she reacted, came up with the excuse of "She's just ugly" and let her live a fabulous life. He actually wished he had kept his marriage with her later in life.

[@jadonlamey3931]

The "she's ugly" excuse had to be Henry's fragile ego talking after she reacted that way. Based on the portraits, Anne of Cleves was the most attractive out of all his wives imo

Also Anne of Cleves stayed friends with Henry after their divorce, and Henry had been sending her more money than she could possibly ever spend. The only women in court that were before her were his daughters and his wife. Gurl was living her life in a palace in Richmond.

Despite Henry VII’s tyranny and political maneuvering, he was an extremely loving husband to Elizabeth of York.

It's kinda funny because the male generically decides the sex of the baby. Because an egg can only carry an x chromosome, whereas a sperm cell can carry both an x and y chromosome (not at once). So it's all Henry's fault he didn't have a son.

[@daniburke9452]

It's all about a race to the egg… Shettles found sperm containing a Y chromosome were smaller, would swim faster and have a shorter life span than the sperm containing an X chromosome. Then it depends if she's ovulating at the moment or in a few days. Look up the Shettlers method

Fun fact: The execution for Anne Boleyn was a deceptive sort. He had hidden the sword he would execute her with in a hay bale next to the block. When she was in position, he secretly reached for it and shouted "Ho! Bring me my sword!" this caused her to turn her head in just the right direction so that it was a clean decapitation.

Let's all admit that Arthur was practically doomed to die before becoming a king because there was no way the English throne was gonna accept anyone with that name. Only Henrys, Edwards, Richards, Charles and Geroges are allowed to become kings.

You know which Arthur did survive to what they would call old age? Arthur Plantagenet, Viscount Lisle. One of Edward IV's bastards. Well into Henry VIII's time. Check out the Lisle Letters. Ohhhh, noo. Just looked a bit deeper. Near life's end thrown into the Tower for 2yr, sus of treason. Henry ordered his release, poor guy had a heart attack at the news, prompting some wag to say that H8's mercy was as deadly as his dooms. Poor bastid. Buried within the Tower. I thought he'd escaped the curse...

Toward the end of life, Henry became very somber, melancholy, and reflective. I guess no doubt how most of us pass our last hours, - that is, if we have an opportunity. Thinking about gradually losing another chance, to re-live past successes, or wishing that maybe he had done something differently, he I guess began to feel the full reality of how fragile and fleeting time-itself was, Henry wrote of time, " ... is of all losses the most irrecuperable, for it can never be redeemed for no manner price nor prayer ".

If you're wondering how the Church of England has a history of being so anti-divorce when it was literally formed so Henry could leave Catherine of Aragon, well, technically their marriage was ended in annulment. So, they didn't *technically* divorce in the eyes of the law, 'cause they weren't deemed *technically* married. And yes, it was the same story with Anne of Cleves.
