Dr.[1] Henry Olisleger was Vice Chancellor of the Duchy of Cleves.
He negotiated the marriage of Lady Anne of Cleves, the Duke's sister, to King Henry VIII of England.[2] Olisleger became the Cleves ambassador to England.[3] When there were rumours about Catherine Howard committing adultery, Olisleger tried to persuade the King, Thomas Cranmer, to remarry Anne.[4]
