Someone got the Henry VIII thing right, but what they didn't catch on to was that it is based on Catherine Howard, who was notoriously the most frivolous and stupid of all of Henry's wives. "...God he's ugly..." Henry was supposed to have been handsome at the time of his marriage to Anne. The "...until husband finds someone younger" bit is evidence that it's about Henry VIII, not Marie Antoinette, and the "Father sold me" part is there because women were playing chips in royal courts during that time period. TADA!
