Boleyn family

The Boleyn family was an influential English noble family in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, best known for Anne Boleyn’s marriage to King Henry VIII. This union led to significant political and religious upheaval, including the English Reformation. The family rose to prominence through Anne’s rise, but many members, including Anne and her sister Mary, faced execution or exile as they navigated court intrigues and changing royal favor. Their legacy is closely tied to the tumultuous events of Henry VIII’s reign and the establishment of the Church of England.
