Why did Henry VIII embark on what was to prove an unsuccessful marriage with Anne of Cleves, his fourth wife? No woman emerged as the obvious choice, as many possible brides were hesitant to marry a man notorious for his treatment of his earlier wives, and Thomas Cromwell's assessment of the religious and political pressures led him to suggest either of the two daughters of the Duke of Cleves. Anne was chosen, largely on the basis of her portrait.
