Which of Henry VIII's wives are you?

As most people know, I'm a bit of a medieval history fan... and I found this quiz...

I put in my answers, and turns out I'm Anne of Cleves..

Anna of Cleves got the royal shaft. She came all the way to England to become the fourth wife of Henry VIII. Once married to Anna, he refused to consummate the marriage, and called her the "Flanders Mare". Talk about a burn, considering that by this time, Henry was the fattest man in England and had a rotting syphilis sore on his leg.

Anna was miffed, but she was too sensible to let it ruin her fun. She was given an annulment and a fat yearly allowance, and she threw extravagant parties and dined on delicacies for the rest of her life.

Hey, a fat allowance and not having to deal with a fat syphillis-infested man, sounds like a good deal :)
