It was his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, who Henry reputedly called a 'Flanders mare'.
Anne of Cleeves' nickname was 'The Flanders Mare.'
She was ugly so she was called a Flanders mare.
none of them, he only had six and i dont recall there one being called mare of flanders, unless he had a secret wife we dont know about !
He is said to have referred to her as a "Flanders mare"
Arrange the marriage between Henry VIII and Ann of Cleeves, who Henry called the Flander's Mare.
He described her as "The Flanders Mare" However, "rose without a thorn" This was for his 5th wife Katherine Howard not for Anne of Cleves
She didn't DO anything, she was married to Henry VIII, his fourth wife, he divorced because he thought she was ugly
It is often said that Henry VIII referred to her as the 'Flanders Mare' but if he did he would only have said this in private. Prior to her marriage with Henry she was referred to as 'the Lady of Cleves' and during her brief marriage she was called 'Queen Anne' by virtue of her being the King's wife (she was not crowned). After the divorce and due to the amiable relationship that formed between Henry and Anne she was referred to as the king's 'sister'.
Ann of Cleves was from Flanders, Katherine of Aragon from Spain and the rest were English.
VIII is 8 in Roman Numerals, which means Henry VIII was the eighth King of England to be called Henry.
Henry VIII's mother was Elizabeth of York.
anne of cleves divorced Henry viii because he wanted a son and not a daughter. Henry VIII described Anne as a 'Flanders Mare': Not a nice way to think of the wife ! Henry claimed he had been misled about Anne's appearance. Hans Holbein (I think) painted a portrait of her that was, apparently, rather flattering. Henry didn't find Anne attractive and the marriage was annulled. After the annulment Anne remained in England and was referred to as the Royal Sister. An annulment is somewhat different to a divorce.
Henry VIII's father was called Henry Tudor - Henry VII of england.
