In a lot of Tudor stories, Cleves is ignored in favor of sexy Anne Boleyn or tragic Catherine of Aragon, but historically, Anne of Cleves got the best deal out of all Henry VIII’s wives. Historically, the fates of the six wives of Henry VIII are as follows: divorced (Catherine of Aragon), beheaded (Anne Boleyn), died (Jane Seymour), divorced (Anne of Cleves), beheaded (Catherine Howard), survived (Catherine Parr).īut in The Dead Queens Club, a new YA novel by Hannah Capin that reimagines the six wives as a modern-day teenage girl gang, their fates go like this: dumped (Catalina “Lina” Trastámara Aragón-Castilla), died mysteriously (Anna Boleyn), moved to a different town (Jane Seymour), friendzoned (Annie “Cleves” Marck, from Cleveland), died mysteriously (Katie Howard), and fate undetermined (Cat Parr).Ĭleves is our narrator here, which is a fantastic choice on Capin’s part.
