is not my favorite wife. That goes to Katheryn Parr, who has fascinated me for years. I also like Anne of Cleves, who was a very interesting and intelligent woman (I've always found it interesting that she and Henry remained on friendly terms and he consulted her on financial matters). As for the rest...Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn were both done dirty for matters of breeding (both likely due to a fault on Henry's part, recent research speculates--the Kell gene--) but both were very intelligent women on their own. As for poor little Cat Howard, the less said the better; she was in over her head.
