Duke of Cleves Signs Marriage Treaty: Anne of Cleves is Promised to Henry VIII

I'm not sure if he was mad or just so worried that he would leave England without an heir. By Katherine Howard he was possibly mad but Anne Boleyn...I really can't pass judgment. It's a difficult one since I have to put myself in that time. It ...

Duke of Cleves Signs Marriage Treaty: Anne of Cleves is Promised to Henry VIII

I don't think that Henry VIII needed much excuses by then. He was quite mad, wasn't he? But you are right. He really shouldn't have killed them for adultery. I've been entrenched recently on how the Tudors killed off the Plantagenets, on ...

Duke of Cleves Signs Marriage Treaty: Anne of Cleves is Promised to Henry VIII

It's part of the reason why I always say neither Anne of Katherine should have been beheaded. They couldn't commit adultery if their marriages were annulled! Oh well, Henry VIII wanted the executions and he got them, despite any legal grounds.

My friend Kate is currently fund-raising for Alzheimers. She's planning to walk across the Himalayas to raise even more.

Duke of Cleves Signs Marriage Treaty: Anne of Cleves is Promised to Henry VIII

*slaps head* Of course Catherine's marriage was annulled! I was only reading about that this morning, in a history of Richard of York. -.- I didn't know that the marriages to Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard were also annulled. That ...

Yes, the forum has been very quiet lately. Maybe it's just that summer is a time to be outside. I don't change my lifestyle much with the seasons, but I've been obsessed with genealogy lately. I've got to remind myself that it's a hobby, not my ...

Haunted Battlefields: The Ghosts of Flodden

It depends where they were buried. Down in the valley, where it was very marshy and the Victorians drained a stream away, I should imagine that the bones did dissolve. Put up on the hillsides, there may be more chance of the remains still ...

Duke of Cleves Signs Marriage Treaty: Anne of Cleves is Promised to Henry VIII

Funnily enough, none of Henry VIII's wives were divorced--contrary to the popular rhyme. Catherine of Aragon's marriage was eventually annulled by Thomas Cranmer since it was considered never valid in God's eyes. Henry VIII also had his ...
