Happy 500th Birthday to Anne of Cleves!
On 22nd September 1515, Anne of Cleves, or Anna von
Jülich-Kleve-Berg as she was actually known in her home country, was born near
Düsseldorf. Anne was the daughter of John III, Duke of Jülich, Cleves and Berg,
an important German ruler, and his wife Maria of Jülich-Berg. Anne was also the
fourth wife of King Henry VIII, although the marriage only lasted six months.
Heather R. Darsie has written a special post on Anne and her
upbringing in Cleves over at the Tudor Society, to celebrate her 500th birthday

to read that now.
You can read more about Anne in the following articles. She really
is a fascinating woman:
Thank you for posting my article. There is another called, "Gloriana and the Green Ruby," which is about Anna von Kleve's relationship with Elizabeth I. An article about Anna's elder sister, Sibylle, will be published tomorrow, 17 January 2016. Both can be found on www.tudorsociety.com. Again, thank you for posting my article! I hope everyone enjoyed it.
