Newly widowed and the father of an infant son, Henry VIII realizes he
must marry again to ensure the royal succession. Forty-six, overweight,
and suffering from gout, Henry is soundly rejected by some of Europe's
most eligible princesses. Anna of Kleve, from a small German duchy, is
twenty-four, and has a secret she is desperate to keep hidden. Henry
commissions her portrait from his court painter, who depicts her from
the most flattering perspective. Entranced by the lovely image, Henry is
bitterly surprised when Anna arrives in England and he sees her in the
flesh. Some think her attractive, but Henry knows he can never love her.
What follows is the fascinating story of an awkward royal union that
somehow had to be terminated. Even as Henry begins to warm to his new
wife and share her bed, his attention is captivated by one of her
maids-of-honor. Will he accuse Anna of adultery as he did Queen Anne
Boleyn, and send her to the scaffold? Or will he divorce her and send
her home in disgrace? Alison Weir takes a fresh and astonishing look at
this remarkable royal marriage by describing it from the point of view
of Queen Anna, a young woman with hopes and dreams of her own, alone and
fearing for her life in a royal court that rejected her almost from the
day she set foot on England’s shore.
