1. In which German city was Anne born on the 22 September 1515?

Answer: Düsseldorf

Anne's name in her native German was Anna von Jülich-Kleve-Berg.
2. Anne was a practising Catholic, like Henry's first wife, Katherine of Aragon.

Answer: False

When Henry broke England away from the Catholic church in Rome he limited his choice of future bride because he would need to marry someone who was either unsympathetic to Rome or was a protestant.

Some duchies and principalities along the Rhine had either adopted the Reformation or were at least sympathetic to it.
3. How old was Anne when she was betrothed to Francis, son and heir of the Duke of Lorraine?

Answer: 12

Francis was only 10, so the betrothal was considered 'unofficial' and was cancelled in 1535.
4. Which of Henry's advisers proposed the match with Anne?

Answer: Thomas Cromwell

Anne was chosen because she came from a family that had was sympathetic to the Protestant cause, without actually belonging to it. In addition, Anne's father was also involved in an ongoing dispute over Gelderland with Emperor Charles V. This made Anne suitable because it meant Henry could find a ally againist the Emperor.
