6 thoughts on “Did Anne boleyn marry Henry Percy in secret?”
I agree with you on all counts Claire. I sometimes wonder if Anne really was “in love” with Henry Percy but when you consider the anger she displayed towards Cardinal Wolsey and the role he played at the Kings bidding with the relationship, maybe it was love. I do not ever remember reading anything about Anne being in love with James Butler. A good question is, “Did Henry Percy love Anne?” If so, poor Mary Talbot for that would not be a match made in Heaven, right, if that was the case. The effect that King Henry had on so many lives sometimes makes ones mind spin.
David,I really think Anne did love Henry Percy ,as she held a hate for the King for 6 years,before she declared her love for the King.As far as Wolsey ,I really did’ent like him at first but,I felt really sorry for him in the end,when the King banised him and Queen Katherine from the court and stript them both of there true titles.I also am happy that Wolsey died before Henry could arrest him and behead him.Also Queen she was 50 years old when she pssed away.

There,know way Anne and Percy Of Northumberland were ever married ,Henry put a stop to that and had Pecy marry one of 2 sisters, her name escapes me ,but they never were married. Percy was a member of Wolseys household and stood to be beheaded if he did not marry another. THX Baroness x
One thing I feel I need to point out is that Eustace Chapuys didn’t always refer to Anne as ‘ the concubine’. He also referred to her as ‘ the lady’. A minor point but a significant one.

Wolsey didnt have any true titles, he was born a commoner
