@ReneeVoiceBrand Honestly, Anne of Cleves made out the best. Marriage annulled, didn't have to sleep with the Beast, and she got a shitload of property to live on.
@LiberalLibrarian @ReneeVoiceBrand Catherine Parr didn't do too badly.
@Coctaanatis @LiberalLibrarian @ReneeVoiceBrand
Catherine Parr was a scholar and published author and survived Henry, so she gets my vote.
Anne of Cleves was the only one of Henryโs wives who was not executed or died in childbirth.
She was the only one of Henryโs wives who outlived him.
Anne of Cleves was a skilled musician and played the lute and the virginals.
She was known for her intelligence and her strong will, and was said to have been a good influence on Henryโs daughter, Mary I (Mary Tudor, also known as Bloody Mary).
@ReneeVoiceBrand As others have said, Catherine Parr, his last wife, also did quite well.
@LiberalLibrarian Three Katherines and two Annes. Ann Boleyn - Beheaded. Anne of Cleves - Survived. Katherine of Aragon - Annulled. Katherine Howard - Beheaded. Katherine Paar - Survived. How did Jane get in the mix???๐
