Listen on

Episode notes

Ever since she hit the stage with all her sass in Six the Musical, Anne of Cleves has been a person of interest to so many of you. And we can't blame you. While she may be Henry VIII least known wife, that doesn't make her any less fascinating. In this episode we'll dive into her earlier years, family dynamic, a few surprising tid-bits and try to answer that age old question... Was Anne of Cleves ugly (spoiler alert: no)?


Join us today as we pair a lemon, raspberry cocktail with the early years of Anne's life. As always, find full show notes on our website http://queenshistorypodcast.com/
