  2. Anne of Cleeves was granted a generous settlement of land & property enjoying the title of the "King's Beloved Sister". She outlived HVIII & his other wives, dying at Chelsea Manor on July 16, 1557, likely of cancer. Her funeral was conducted according to Catholic rites, as she had requested. #2
