    The problem is, drunk Rob Beckett (and I'm sure other comedians too) is pretty much Rob Beckett on a panel show. If he were to retell a historical event sober, it'd come out fairly similar.

      That's why I tend to prefer the US version. The US presenters unselfconsciously ramble but the Brits, despite drinking enough alcohol to render me comatose, still feel a need to maintain control and be clever. Most of the time they are trying to deliver the same lines they would if they were sober. Which completely misses the premise of the show.

    Actually, Anne of Cleves was described by other contemporaries as not bad, and actually kinda pretty. What she did have were the pits from after small pox. This does not make you look like an ugly man. Also she was taller and broader shouldered than Henry's other 5 wives which may have been a factor in Henry's repulsion

    • @zammmerjammer
      @zammmerjammer 6 лет назад +86

      Henry's problem is that he liked the sassy flirty (young) women at court. But then he married them and expected them to suddenly become these saintly mother figures. Stupid.
      Henry tried his little disguise trick on Anne of Cleeves but she just thought it was stupid and definitely NOT charming and fun. Seems like mostly Henry was cranky she didn't "have a sense of humour" (translation: "She doesn't laugh at MY jokes."

    @lex7384 6 лет назад +24

    Jane Seymour died of childbed fever a couple of days after her son Edward's birth, not during birth. Also, this narrative is contested. Despite his track record, Henry was a romantic. It's actually unknown whether or not Anne of Cleves lived up to her portrait. When she arrived in England, Henry dressed up in a ratty costume. He believed that if he and Anne were soulmates then she would recognize him even though he was dressed as a beggar. Anne, of course, did not recognize Henry and rejected his advances because she didn't know that he was her fiancé, which ought to earn her some points, right? She didn't recognize him but she also didn't give someone other than her husband-to-be the time of day. Henry, though, did not see it that way. He was pissed. They did get married, but (if I remember correctly) only stayed married for about six months. He said the marriage was never consummated, had it annulled, and gave her a sizable allowance, a bunch of servants, and a castle so she could just chill comfortably for the rest of her life. He likely did make the famous comment about her looking like a horse, but it was due to a bruised ego more than any defect on Anne's part.

      It would have been a bad political move to divorce her and send her packing home. Instead, he treated her as a sister. Always thought that was a rather brilliant move, considering his other methods.

    Everyone always thinks ‘poor old Anne of Cleves’ but she was arguably treated the best out of Henry’s wives. After their divorce, he gave her a palace and grounds to live on and welcomed her to court, especially when foreign dignitaries came visiting - she acted as a translator. He treated her like a well-loved sister and his three children loved her like a mother, or at least an aunt. She escaped the indignity of Catherine of Aragon’s banishment from court, the beheadings of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, and survived long after Henry, living out her days in comfort in her own castle. She even outlived Katherine Parr (who we think of as the ‘wife who survived’). She may not have been to his taste but she did well for herself in the end.
