Anne of Cleves Part 3: 1540 – 1557

In today's Claire Chats, I finish our series on Anne of Cleves by looking at her life following the annulment of her marriage to Henry VIII until her death in July 1557.

You can read an extract from The Remonstrance of Anne of Cleves in the Reverend William Mackay's 1880 article at https://archive.org/stream/archaeologiaopt247sociuoft#page/248/mode/2up.

You can read Anne of Cleves' will in Agnes Strickland's Lives of the Queens of England on Google Books at https://books.google.es/books?id=0jJRAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false, page 276 onwards or at http://vanosnabrugge.org/docs/annes-will.pdf.

    Henry didn’t give anybody a chance. I feel sorry for Anne. I hate to admit it but I watched all three videos and cried!
