 George BOLEYN (2° V. Rochford)
George Boleyn was Anne Boleyn's brother, and is best known for being accused of incest with her.

He was the father of Henrys queen, Anne Boleyn, but both this lady, and her only brother, George Boleyn, Viscount Rochford, had been put to death before their father died in March 1539.

The Boleyns were nothing if not personable.) He was described by David Starkey as having "some of Anne's talents and all of her pride", and was a leading member of the Boleyn faction at court.
George's date of birth has been generally agreed upon (if Ives and Warnicke can agree, it must be!), but it was quite difficult to determine.
As with his sister, however, his position (along with that of the Boleyns in general) was rendered that much more vulnerable to his enemies - and indeed, his failure to receive the Order of the Garter on 23 April was one of the first indicators that the Boleyns were in serious trouble.

After a period of distressing reflection, she died on March 24 at Richmond Palace, aged 69, the oldest English Sovereign ever to have reigned; the mark was not surpassed until George II died in his seventy-seventh year in 1760.

In her biography of Anne Boleyn, Joanne Denny writes that Mary´s grandson, Lord Hunsdon stated he was certain that Mary was the elder sister.
This is believed to have led to Mary becoming mistress to the new king of France who reportedly called her "my English mare" and "a great whore, the most infamous of all" in his later years.

Born in 1473, she was the daughter of George Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence, and Isabel, elder daughter of the Earl of Warwick.
Anne Boleyn is said to be one of the most enduring ghosts of the Tower of London, she haunts the vicinity of the White Tower, the King's House, Tower Green, and the chapel of St Peter ad Vincula.

 Henry VIII of England
Henry had previously been happy with mistresses, including Mary Boleyn and Elizabeth Blount, with whom he had had a bastard son, Henry Fitzroy.
Clement VII did not agree to annul the marriage, but he did grant the desired dispensation, probably presuming that the dispensation would be of no effect as long as Henry remained married to Catherine.
Perhaps encouraged by Thomas Cromwell, Henry had Anne arrested on charges of using witchcraft to trap Henry into marrying her, of having adulterous relationships with five other men, of incest with her brother George Boleyn, Viscount Rochford, of injuring the King and of conspiring to kill him—which amounted to treason.

In addition, he requested Pope Clement VII to grant a dispensation allowing him to marry any woman, even in the first degree of affinity; such a dispensation was necessary because Henry had previously had intercourse with Anne Boleyn's sister Mary.
He suffered a thigh wound which not only prevented him from taking exercise, but also gradually became ulcerated and may have indirectly led to his death, which occurred on 28 January 1547 at the Palace of Whitehall.
Under the Act of Succession 1544 and under Henry VIII's will, Edward was to be succeeded (in default of his issue) by Henry VIII's daughter by Catherine of Aragon, the Lady Mary.
