Anne is a very distant ancestor of mine. Her great x 6 grandfather is my ancestor too. He was Sir Thomas deFelton 4th baronet of Playford.and he was married to Lady Elizabeth Howard.

I think Anne was both brilliant and was her own architect BUT I also think she was pushed by her family as well. I think it's both.

Correct Anne Boylen and George Boylen were excited Mary. Boylen survived and married even though they were angry at her choice of marriage she survived I believe she was the lucky one
