I know he was seeking an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, but I think people commonly spoke of it as a divorce. He decided that Anne of Cleves was not as good-looking as her portrait but I don’t know if they had ever consummated the marriage. Who was the third?

(I think after the first couple of marriages, taking the veil should have been popular among anyone in proximity to this pig; at least as long as that was an option.)
