Anna of Cleves was a German noblewoman born in 1515, known for being the fourth wife of King Henry VIII of England. She was the daughter of John III, Duke of Cleves and Maria of Julich-Berg. Their marriage was politically motivated, aimed at forming an alliance, but it was short-lived. The marriage lasted only six months, as Henry VIII found Anna unattractive and sought an annulment. Despite this, Anna received a generous settlement and was given the title of the King’s sister. She lived comfortably in England until her death in 1557, maintaining a good relationship with the royal family.
