Anne of Cleves

<p>Anne of Cleves was the ‘last woman standing’ of Henry VIII’s wives and the only one buried in Westminster Abbey. How did she manage it? Was she in fact a political refugee, supported by the King? Was she a role model for her step-daughters Mary and Elizabeth? Why was her marriage to Henry doomed from the start?</p><br><p>In this edition of <a href="https://podfollow.com/not-just-the-tudors/view" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Not Just the Tudors</strong></a>, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by author Heather R. Darsie - editor of&nbsp;<a href="http://maidensandmanuscripts.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">maidensandmanuscripts.com</a>&nbsp;- whose research into Anne of Cleves casts a new light on Henry’s fourth Queen, potentially revealing a very different figure than the so-called 'Flanders Mare'.</p><br><p>For this episode, the Senior Producer was Elena Guthrie.
