Swampy was actually thinking of "Pastime in Good Company" but will accept Greensleeves, although there is some doubt as to its authorship.
In addition to thinking she was ugly, Henry couldn't get past Anne of Cleve's smell. She had terrible BO and he never could consummate the marriage.
Maybe Swampy will do a Biblical history quiz (as that was his college major).
