	Mary Boleyn
		Mary's early life was punctuated by a brief enrolment in a "finishing school" in 1512, but after a year Mary became a Maid of Honour to Louis XII of France's new queen, Mary Tudor.
		Mary and Anne were introduced to King Henry VIII of England in 1520 at "The Field of the Cloth of Gold" by their father, and Mary caught the eye of the king and became part of his court and, later, his mistress.
		Because of this, Mary survived the trials that resulted in the execution of Anne and her brother George on charges of treason (they were accused of incest) and lived out the rest of her days in anonymity with her husband.

	Mary Boleyn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mary was one of the mistresses of King Henry VIII of England and also, allegedly, of his rival, King Francis I of France.
		Mary was joined in Paris by her father, Sir Thomas, and her older sister, Anne, who had been studying in the Netherlands for the last year.
		Mary’s parents and sister were said to have been mortified by her actions and were greatly relieved when they could ship her back to England in 1519.

	The Other Boleyn Girl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mary comes to suspect that Anne is planning to poison Queen Catherine, and has already attempted to poison a bishop who is opposed to the Boleyns' ambitions.
		When Mary returns to court in 1535, she begins to suspect that the King is impotent and that Anne and George have committed an incestuous affair in order to help her conceive again.
		Mary Boleyn was considered to be fairly promiscuous, and had been sexually active before her first marriage (and was dismissed from service in Paris because of it.) The Boleyns did not encourage Mary's active sex life; quite the reverse, in fact.

		Mary was the absolute star of the glamorous competitive court around Henry, she was his popular mistress and gave birth to two children who may have been fathered by him.

	Anne Boleyn
		In 1514 she accompanied Mary Tudor to France on the marriage of the princess to Louis XII, remained there after the king's death, and became one of the women in waiting to Queen Claude, wife of Francis I. She returned in 1521 or 1522 to England, where she had many admirers and suitors.
		Unlike her sister Mary, who had fallen a victim to Henry's solicitations, Anne had no intention of being the king's mistress; she meant to be his queen, and her conduct seems to have been governed entirely by motives of ambition.
		Mary was to be forced into the position of a humble attendant upon Anne's infant, and her ears were to be boxed if she proved recalcitrant.

		Mary believed that she would regain her favor with the wicked stepmother out of the way but she was proven terribly wrong.

	Mary Boleyn
		Warnicke bases this upon the (indisputable) fact that Anne was sent to the Netherlands, not Mary; she argues that this means that Anne had to be the elder and that a younger sister would never have been favoured with such an opportunity at the expense of the elder.
		Mary was not sent to the court of Margaret of Austria in 1513 with Anne, but she crossed the Channel in August 1514 with Mary Tudor (sister of Henry VIII), who was to marry Louis XII of France.
		Mary lived in quiet obscurity with William Stafford, mainly in Rochford (Essex); when Anne and George were tried and executed in May 1536, she does not seem to have made any attempt to contact or intercede for them.

	Review of The Other Boleyn Girl
		Mary was Henry VIII's mistress for an unknown amount of time, and there has been speculation that her two children may also have been his.
		Mary can do very little but observe throughout most of this story, but even so she is oddly cowlike.
		Thus, Mary becomes the King's mistress - but she is excused of any mercenary intent by being made to actually fall in love with the King.

		We follow Mary's life from an innocent child, to when she is made a part of the court of Henry VIII's sister Mary Tudor, as she briefly married to the French King.
		Mary is at first enchanted with the French court, sophisticated and gay, but as she grows up, we also see her falling under the spell of the new king, Francois I, with his seductive, wiley ways.
		Mary knew when to cut her losses, unlike Anne, and have been far more realistic in her attitudes, and grows up considerably in maturity and wisdom as the book progresses.

		Mary, the story's narrator, is the most sympathetic of the siblings, but even she is twisted by the demands of power and status; charming George, an able plotter, finally brings disaster on his own head by falling in love with a male courtier.
		Mary abandons court life to live with a new husband and her children in the countryside, but love and duty bring her back to Anne time and again.
		Mary recounts the king's wish for a male heir; his break with the Pope; Anne's skillful if criminal plotting that leads to the divorce and her marriage to Henry; the birth of the future Queen Elizabeth; and Anne's desperate attempts to bear a son.

		Mary struggles with her own code of honor and personal morality, which is often in conflict with what is mandated by her family.
		It is notable, however, that she was the only Boleyn sibling to survive the purges of the Tudor court and who, ultimately, married for love in an age when this was not the norm among those of her class.
		Mary Boleyn is ordered by her family to be at King Henry's command whatever his wishes and whims.

		Everyone knows the fate of Anne Boleyn, but not many know the story of her rise to majesty and the part played by her rival and sister, Mary, who was Henry's mistress and mother to two of his bastard children before the dazzling older Boleyn girl even caught his eye.
		At 13, Mary is little more than a child when she is presented to Henry, ordered by her scheming family to serve her King and country by opening her legs whenever commanded, or doing anything else the great monarch desires.
		While Mary is merely hapless, Anne is the most ruthless of them all, so that instead of feeling cheated by knowing the outcome of her story, it only serves to help digest her unpalatable rise.

		Briefly, Anne Boleyn was the second and most famous wife of Henry VIII, who divorced his first wife, Katherine of Aragon, in order to marry her and produce a male heir.

		But you have to wonder: Mary was also the only Boleyn sibling to survive the vicissitudes of Henry VIII's reign, and the fall of the Howard-Boleyn fortunes; she also managed to marry for love (and a happy and lasting marriage it proved to be too) the second time around.
		Although she is married and still quite loyal to the queen, her family (her ruthless parents as well as her uncle, the powerful and equally ruthless Duke of Howard) decrees that she put her marriage and loyalties aside and cater to the whims of her king.
		A few years and two royal by-blows later however, Mary is shunted aside when the king begins to loose interest in their relationship and her ambitious family fearful that they will loose all the power that they have gained, throws the more ruthless and seductive sister, Anne at the king's head.

	The Other Boleyn Girl -- book review
		Mary, already married, is acceptable for a tryst with the King.
		Mary's sister, the erudite Anne, recently returned from the French Court, is one of the clever minds pushing Mary to prominence as the King's paramour.
		Mary is the primary focus of the novel, even when replaced in the King's affections by her duplicitous sister, Anne.

		Anne Mary and George have so much depth that all the other characters are merely decorations and another effect in the book.
		The Boleyn Parents are better placed in a puppet show, and that Howard Uncle seems to come from the "A Series of Unfortunate Events" books.
		Lastly the love between Mary Boleyn and William Stafford was blown out of proportion and did not serve much in the book.

	BBC - Drama - The Other Boleyn Girl Homepage
		A tale of sex and royal intrigue revealing the little-known story of Mary Boleyn, who was mistress to King Henry VIII before he married her sister, Anne.
		Novelist Philippa Gregory feels that Mary Boleyn has been an overlooked figure, as she says "nobody has really bothered very much with Mary Boleyn, as she was just one of a number of the King's lovers - but I thought it was a fantastic story, very provocative."
		Gregory says it is impossible to know whether Mary Boleyn actually had a child by Henry VIII, but she did have two children, Henry and Catherine, during the time she was his lover and she believes they were likely to be Henry's.

	The Age of Anne Boleyn. Part two
		Another confusion concerning Anne Boleyn is whether she was in fact the elder sister, rather than her evidently more flighty sister, Mary Boleyn.
		Before Anne's involvement with the King, Mary briefly became mistress to King Henry VIII - some people from the period believed her son, Henry Carey, to be also the son of the King- perhaps after her marriage to William Carey.
		It is possible that Sir Thomas Boleyn realised that his younger daughter, besides her obvious intelligence, had inherited his gift as a linguist- something that would one day be passed down to his grand-daughter, Elizabeth the First.

		Anne Boleyn was accused of essentially the same catalog of crimes used against every powerful woman since (and probably before) Jezebel - sexual infidelity, witchcraft, heresy, capriciousness and foul temper.
		The Other Boleyn Girl is extremely readable and tells of the rise and fall of the Boleyn family.
		Anne Boleyn appears in many novels, but most of them are pretty crude productions, rarely written with the nuance and feeling of this one.
