I always wonder if she was actually ugly or if Henry was just pissed that she didn't recognize him when he dressed up and 'surprised her' before her official arrival.
But he was only married 3 times...
With Catherine of Aragon, Jane Seymour and Anne of Cleves.

Half of them were in fact considered downright plain at the time too. But hey, two of them came with political advantage, the rest were basically uplifted thrysts. It's not like Henry set off to search for the realm's prettiest girl, he just threw a ring wherever his dick happened to point at the time.
