The Passion Test, Janet and Chris Attwood

This Day in Histor-Bloggery by Michael A. Stusser:

I wanna thank Penguin for letting me blog wildly this week, and, as a reward for clicking along with me each and every day, I’d like to give readers that interview with Henry VIIIth I promised. Beyond hype for my book, The Dead Guy Interviews, there’s actually some historical significance here: On this day in 1539, the cantankerous King became engaged to wife #4 Anna of Kleef. Funny thing was, he wouldn’t actually meet the German princess until January of the next year, and remained married to her for only three months. She was, quite frankly, uglier than advertised (not that Henry was any prize at this point in the game, believe me…). And given that the whole thing was for political reasons, after 90 some-odd days, Henry had had enough. So as not to upset the German alliance, the King made Anne his honorary “sister” – and put her up in fine style for the rest of her days. Better than a be-heading, indeed…

Henry VIII

1491-1547

Henry VIII became King of England in 1509 at the age of 17 after his dad, Henry VII (obviously), died of tuberculosis. The second monarch of the Tudor dynasty, Henry is known less for playing a mean harp than his six marriages, creating the independent Church of England (the other church wasn’t big on divorce), and uniting England and Wales (and irritating speakers of Welsh ever since).
