Apparently, Anne of Cleves did not suit Henry VIII at all! He was sent a portrait of the German "beauty" that put her in a better light than reality. Supposedly, Henry did not even consummate the marriage and had it annulled quickly giving Anne the title of beloved sister. She was also given a generous estate and the two got on well afterwards. She certainly had a better end than a few of the other queens...i.e. Anne Boleyn or Catherine Howard.
