Queens Gambit

My mother paid me a visit (Oh, good, laundry). She asked what I was reading and I said I won a book in a giveaway, Queen's Gambit, about one of Henry VIII's wives.
"Can you name his wives?" I asked.
"Err, no."
"The first one, Catherine of..."
"Err, no."
"Catherine of Aragon. They got rid of her for Anne..."
"Boleyn?"
"Yes! Then there was Jane..."
"Seymour?"
"Yes! Then there was Anne..."
"Hathaway?"
"Anne of Cleves. Followed by Catharine..."
"The great?"
"No, let's leave that, mum."
