	Jane Boleyn, Viscountess Rochford
		Lady Rochford appeared beside Anne in the masked dance performed in Calais for François I of France, and when Anne became queen she was one of her ladies of the bedchamber.
		It may be that Jane was jealous of the closeness of the bond between Anne and George; this would fit neatly with the nature of the charge, as it centred precisely on the alleged nature of that bond.
		Jane Rochford was executed on 13 February 1542, immediately after Katheryn Howard; until the end, she remained "in a frenzy" according to Chapuys, the Imperial ambassador, and an Act was passed specifically to allow the execution of insane persons.

		Jane Boleyn, Viscountess Rochford (~1505 - February 13 1542) was the sister-in-law of Anne Boleyn and lady-in-waiting to Catherine Howard, along with whom she was executed.

		Following her husband's execution, Lady Rochford was absent from court until she gained a place in the household of another of the king's wives, Anne of Cleves.
