Which German princess got married to Henry VIII?

Correct Answer: Anne of Cleves

Anne of Cleves was the fourth wife of Henry VIII.

She was a German princess from the Duchy of Cleves (in present-day Germany).

Henry married her in January 1540 for political reasons, but reportedly disliked her appearance in person compared to her flattering portrait (painted by Hans Holbein). The marriage was annulled within six months, and Anne was given an amicable settlement — she retained her title and was known thereafter as "the King's sister."
