Henry VIII Anne of Cleves Married at First Sight!

The Tudors King required a new marriage and Queen. Hans Holbein had been sent across the royal courts of Europe to paint a good likeness of potential ladies for Henry VIII. Many of the women were disinterested in Henry due to his colourful marital background. It was around now that Anne of Cleves made her first appearance. Her portrait is pleasant and appealing except to one man, the man that matters most, Henry! So why did Henry marry Anne at first sight? Was it purely based on Cromwell's determination to provide new alliances in Europe to strengthen the English say in matters, or was it simply Holbein's portrait and Henry's first view of his new bride the cause behind one of the most daring matchups in Tudor times?
