Original Title: TIL that in 1540, King Henry VIII entered into an arranged marriage with his 4th wife, Anne of Cleves. Dissatisfied with her appearance, he never consummated the marriage, leading to its annulment. The architect of the union, Thomas Cromwell, fell from favor and was executed in 1541.
