Jane Boleyn received Blickling as part of her settlement on George’s death. On her death, again, it reverted to James Boleyn.

Just finishing a book about Jane Boleyn: “Jane Boleyn: The True Story of the Infamous Lady Rochford”, by Julia Fox. A very good read, but I don’t know how accurate it is.
My question to Anne: Did you actually “hold out” against Henry’s advances until shortly before your wedding?
AND, it’s a good thing I don’t believe in ghosts! — the way you guys talk about “poor” Henry, don’t be surprised that some dark night, he appears in your bedroom with a sharp AXE!

Thank you Louise I’ve often wondered how J.B managed to live money wise after George was murdered. Am I right in thinking though that she more or less pleaded with Cromwell to even given her stipend let alone anything else after the events of May 36.

Not exactly, her jointure had been gaurented at the time of the wedding. I believe that Thomas B was trying not to give Jane the full amount since Henry had given a large sum (ITRO 1,ooo pounds) to the young couple. I am under the impression that Cromwwell applied pressure to Boleyn to ensure he paid up that extra money to Jane. It meant that JAne then had 200 pounds per annum as her jointure rather than the sum of 100 pounds that had been written into the contracts.
I don’t have my copy of Fox to hand so I’m unsure of the total amounts.

Thank you Anyanka. It does certainly seem as if poor Jane was given the rough end of the pineapple from 1536 onwards. I guess if you think about it there were many people who hated the Boleyns, and perhaps would have liked to have torn both George and Anne apart limb from limb, but because Lardarse pre-empted their plans they decided to take out their venom on Jane instead. I have to admire her courage mind you, alesser person would have perhaps hidden away from the world and not wanted to ever see the court again. But she faced all the gossips and carried on bravely weathering the storm, and rode to out to the other side.
Did she leave court for a while after H8 chopping spree, or did she just transfer into J.S household as if she was just going into another room?
Did she have any freinds within the court at all.?

I would ask Anne if she could have changed anything, like her need to retaliate when Henry reproached her for her behavior. Or if she would have done anything different to keep Henry’s mind on her. If I could go back to that time, I would definitely bring some modern medicine to make sure that Anne didn’t have those miscarriages and still borns. So that her position was secure and Henry got his sons. I’d also bring proof that it was men that determined the sex of a fetus. So that Henry knew it was his fault that Anne had a daughter. I hate the fact that women were blamed of sin for daughters and miscarriages. I would advise pregnant women not to drink the ale and wine as they so often did. That definitely had something to do with failed pregnancies. But to sum all this up, I would love to have gone to the Tudor court and meet the Boleyns.
