Continuing with my Tudor theme
Anne of Cleves' marriage to Henry VIII was dissolved on the grounds that she had been precontracted to Francis of Lorraine (okay, fine, it was the official reason, really Henry, just wanted to be rid of the very plain, German hausfrau - the Flanders' mare/Dutch cow - Cromwell had married him to.)
Now, what if Anne had been married to Francis - not merely precontracted. Would she have made a better duchess of provincial Lorraine than queen for England?
Discuss.
