Boleyn had small breasts. Henry VIII liked ladies with small breasts, which is why he didn't like Anne of Cleves famously calling her a ''Flander's Mare''. Anne of Cleves had big jugs.

Henry VIII undeniably made a few poor life choices, but why did he marry a woman he didn't find attractive?

Politico-religio arranged marriage at the behest of Thomas Cromwell, Henry's chief minister. Cromwell (and Cranmer) were espousing Protestantism at the time and the Duke of Cleves was seen as Lutheran and anti-Hapsburg. Cromwell had Hans Holbein paint Anne's portrait which was shown to Henry VIII. The marriage treaty was signed before Henry met Anne of Cleve. 

This was how most royal marriages occurred through the centuries, until relatively recently.

@soon. Gardens are now rassist or summit,

 

I suppose that it’s now my job to inform you that this tweet, nor the article, makes the claim you say it does. lol 

But the author is an idiot because gardening is super political - especially in the context we’ve discussed in England regarding the agrarian revolution against industrial capitals notion of land, use and ownership. All you allotments flow from the history of resistance. 

Plus he doesn’t even duly unpack the f’n climate crisis and gardening Haha.
