Noble Friends,

On this date in 1540, the marriage between Henry VIII and Anne of Cleves
(1515-1557) was annulled. She was Henry's fourth wife, and they displeased
each other from their very first meeting some six months earlier. Henry
then rather kindly treated her as a sister, granted her extensive estates,
and allowed her to attend court.

More about this remarkable women, perhaps the most fortunate of Henry's six
wives (she kept her head!) can be found at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_of_Cleves .

Yours Aye,

Mungo Napier, Laird of Mallard Lodge  🦆
