| Notes |
- Anne (who was married to King Henry VIII Tudor) lived until she was 41 years old and died eight weeks before her 42nd birthday on 16 July 1557. Upon her death she was buried in Westminster Abbey alongside many other kings and queens of England. She is the only wife of Henry VIII to be buried in the Abbey.
In her will she had bequeathed jewelry to her stepdaughters and her cousin Francis of Waldeck and a small gift to Otho Willicke (=Otto van Wylach, who had been sent home the year before) and gave money to: "Otho Rampello, Arnold Kinglebury, John Guligh, John Solenbrough, Derrick Pasman, Arnold Holgins, and George Hagalas, being our countrymen", so that they could return home to Cleves and Guelders. Those names had obviously been anglicized and one of them "John Guligh", might very well have been Johan Gulik (1495 -1550), who was Anne's uncle (brother of her mother Maria van Gulik).
