Welcome to Tudor Week, where we dive into the captivating history of the Tudor Dynasty. Today's focus is on the second divorce of King Henry VIII of England, as depicted in the famous rhyme "Divorced. Beheaded. Died. Divorced. Beheaded. Survived." Specifically, we'll be exploring the life of Anne of Cleves, the fourth wife of Henry VIII. How did this relatively unknown German princess become a queen during one of the most tumultuous periods in English history? What started as a political alliance quickly turned into a personal embarrassment for Anne. So sit back, grab a drink, and get ready for a truly enthralling tale.
