Anne of Cleves briefly served as Queen of England in 1540 during her marriage to King Henry VIII. Their union, arranged for political reasons with her brother William, was annulled after six months for being unconsummated. Anne received a generous settlement and was thereafter referred to as the King’s Beloved Sister. She lived in England for the rest of her life, outliving Henry’s other wives and witnessing the reigns of Edward VI and Mary I.
