Boleyn in May 1536, Henry VIII and his court were ready to move on. The king
was described as having 'come out of hell into heaven for the gentleness in
this (his new lady love Jane Seymour) and the cursedness and the unhappiness in
the other.' Anne, the cause of his great misery was now out of sight and out of
mind. Her portraits were destroyed or put away, and her heraldic badges were
removed - though not altogether successfully. Examples of her likeness and her
emblems still survive here and there.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Does a reminder survive
in the Tower of London where Anne was imprisoned before her execution? Amidst a
clutter of stone carvings in one of the buildings within is that of a bird
perched upon a curious object. The eminent historian, Eric Ives, had no doubts
as to what this represented - the disgraced Queen Anne - he even waxed poetic
about it:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><i>'For her, the most poignant
memorial was in the Tower of London, where it remains to this day on the wall
of one of the cells in the Beauchamp Tower. There crudely and hastily scratched
by a man who knew he had little time, is Anne Boleyn's falcon. Which of
'lovers' made it we do not know, but the image is unmistakable. The tree-stump
is there - the barren Henry - the Tudor rose-bush bursting into life, the
perching bird whose touch wrought the miracle. But there is one change to the badge
which Anne had proudly flourished in the face of the world. The falcon is no
longer a royal bird. It has no crown, no sceptre; it stands bareheaded, as did
Anne in those last moments on Tower Green'. </i>(1)<i><br /></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">But Ives' opinion that this
was chiseled in tribute to Anne Boleyn needs be examined. That it is 'unmistakably'
her heraldic badge is questionable. It actually bears little resemblance to Anne's
majestic falcon standing on a stump. The missing crown and sceptre were explained

species here - stands with both feet on a large object. It is not a wooden
stump as Ives said. Shaped like a spade instead of a column as a tree-stump ought
to be, it is probably a leaf or some kind of plant - an artichoke perhaps? It seems to taper to a point behind the bird and its
surface appears to be veined or with clustered petals. More significantly, there is a noticeable stem on
the bottom.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">While the amateurish skill
of the carver can be excused, an ignorance of heraldry cannot. Armorial achievements
were meant to be precise and easily recognizable - one had to be able to easily
pick out friend and foe in the heat of battle. A carving in honor of Anne Boleyn
should have been that - instantly identifiable. And if the artist was indeed one
of the five men - George Boleyn, William Brereton, Francis Weston, Henry Norris
or Mark Smeaton - accused of treason and adultery with the queen, he would have
been entirely familiar with Anne's device and would have carved it with a degree
of accuracy, if not talent. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">As the carving was done
near an inscription by Thomas Miagh, a prisoner of the Tower in the reign of
Elizabeth I, the emblem may actually have been done by him for himself. (2) If not, who the device represents eludes us for the moment, but it is almost certainly not Anne Boleyn,
as Ives believed. The carving has no perceptible association with the tragic queen, other than in a romantic notion.<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">________________________________________</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">(1) Eric Ives, <i>The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn</i>.

Anne Boleyn remains controversial. While sources from the late 16th and early
17th centuries have stated that she was born in 1507, modern scholarship has
favoured an earlier date instead. The art historian Hugh Paget, in particular,
had proposed 1501 as a more plausible year based on Anne's time at the Hapsburg
court of Margaret of Austria in the Netherlands. Anne must surely have been
about the age of 12 in 1513 when she went abroad, Paget argued, as that was
supposedly the required age to be in service to the archduchess.</span></i></p><i>
</i><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">However, a
re-evaluation of Paget's reasoning, as presented here, casts doubt that Anne was born in 1501. The
obligatory age of courtly service is questionable, as was Anne's purpose for
being at the Imperial court in the first place. She was most probably not
engaged as a lady-in-waiting to Margaret of Austria, but was rather boarded at
the Hapsburg schoolroom with other 'enfants
d'honneur'. Furthermore, evidence of Anne being listed as a maid-of-honour
is actually incorrect. She was confused with another young lady.</span></i></p><i>
</i><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There are also overlooked
statements provided by Roger Twysden, the nephew of Anne's first biographer
George Wyatt. Shortly before his death in 1624, Wyatt had entrusted his notes
about the late queen to his relative. Twysden transcribed his uncle's work,
which clearly stated - and confirmed - that Anne was born in 1507, rather than
in 1501.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When Anne Boleyn was
executed on May 19, 1536, she left no indication how old she was at the time of
her death. During Henry VIII's courtship of her beginning in around 1526, there
were various descriptions of Anne as a 'young' woman (1), but none of these
have been helpful in pinpointing her age. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It was not until the
early 17th century that attempts were made to establish the year of her birth.
In 1615, the antiquarian William Camden published his <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Annales Rerum Anglicarum et Hibernicarum regnante Elizabetha ad annum
salutis</i> - a biography of Anne's daughter Elizabeth I - in which he
empathically stated that Anne was born in 1507 ('Anna Bolena nata M.D. VII').
(2) This date was supported by the recollections of Lady Jane Dormer, made
before her death in 1612, that Anne was 'not 29 years of age' when she was
beheaded.

Herbert of Cherbury, in his book<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> The Life
and Reign of King Henry the Eighth</i>, was certain that Anne was born earlier.
He claimed (though on what authority he did not say) that Anne, 'coming to the
age of 15', was 'deflowered by some domestics of her father' and was thus sent
to France in 1514 because of her bad behavior. That said, Herbert believed
that Anne was born 'about or before 1498'. (4)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A date prior to 1507
was also accepted by later historians such as Agnes Strickland (who thought
1501 based on her interpretation of Herbert's book) and by Paul Friedmann.
Friedmann opined 1503-1504, or even earlier as 'she may have been rather older,
for women so vain as Anne generally give themselves out for somewhat younger
than they are.' As well, </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Friedmann</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> referred to a portrait type, supposedly of
Anne by Hans Holbein no less, where her age is given as 27 in 1530. (5) However, this
painting of 'Anna Regina' was actually of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">another
</i>Anne - Anne of Hungary, wife of Ferdinand (the future Holy Roman Emperor and brother of the other future emperor, Charles V). Nevertheless, the circa 1501 date was also argued for by historian J.H. Round in
accordance with Friedmann.

raised again by art historian Hugh Paget in more recent times. In 1981, he
argued - with much persuasion - that Anne Boleyn was born in that year as
opposed to 1507.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Paget pointed out a
letter written by her to her father Sir Thomas Boleyn from the Netherlands where
Anne had gone to reside with the regent Margaret of Austria in 1513. As such
appointments were supposedly only given to girls of age 13 to 14, Anne must
have been born in 1501, Paget proposed. Also, he claimed that Anne's name
appeared in a list of Margaret's servants. So apart from being in the Low
Countries to improve her French, she was also in service to the archduchess as
a lady-in-waiting. (7)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">However, a reassessment
of Paget's arguments questions whether the age of about 12 was actually a
requirement at the Hapsburg court, and that contrary to his identification
of Anne as an attendant of Margaret of Austria, she was actually not there.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmvN1nfkVf7fnOBxSMFEdSgNQKi-AQrLoXUa2ohKyhYmv8Zl5QRKzhWSPmTxNFYHsJNlF44m9uCXI2HhJeHM4A9iBPLehnvwnGxKzOS9z4wo-pBgjgEzLUmg3PAPr0_8glLBVhlNTbdzjZSAqoF122GruV5B1-yN4t-xlUhUthRaqwki5YWyLRnjSU/s600/Margaret_of_Austria_Kunigunde_of_Austria_Gaspare_Oselli_and_Francesco_Terzio_Rijksmusm_small.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="445" height="494" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmvN1nfkVf7fnOBxSMFEdSgNQKi-AQrLoXUa2ohKyhYmv8Zl5QRKzhWSPmTxNFYHsJNlF44m9uCXI2HhJeHM4A9iBPLehnvwnGxKzOS9z4wo-pBgjgEzLUmg3PAPr0_8glLBVhlNTbdzjZSAqoF122GruV5B1-yN4t-xlUhUthRaqwki5YWyLRnjSU/w366-h494/Margaret_of_Austria_Kunigunde_of_Austria_Gaspare_Oselli_and_Francesco_Terzio_Rijksmusm_small.jpg" width="366" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Margaret of Austria (left) with her aunt Kunigunde of Austria (by Gaspare Oselli and Francesco Terzio)</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b> <br /></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">According to Anne's
letter, she was grateful to her father, in his role as envoy to the Imperial court in the Netherlands, for sending her to Margaret
of Austria and she would do her best 'to continue to learn to speak good
French.' (8) She also made mention of how she looked forward to speaking to
'the queen'. This has been taken to mean Katherine of Aragon in England, but as
Anne had newly arrived in the Low Countries and would presumably stay there for
awhile, she probably meant Margaret, whom she mistakenly referred
to as 'the queen' rather than 'the archduchess' or 'the regent'. Given that
Margaret was appointed governor of the Hapsburg Netherlands by her father

Was she about 6 or about 12? The argument for the latter was that to be in
service to the Hapsburgs, one had to be about 13 or 14. Paget pointed to a
letter (dated January 13, 1512) from the Emperor Maximilian to his daughter
where he asked Margaret to place the niece of the courtier <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Don Diégo de Guevara who was of that age in
her household. (9) This has commonly been assumed that she was to be a servant
to the archduchess. But a closer reading of the letter shows that the emperor
was asking that the girl be placed with his 'most dear and much loved girls' his
granddaughters: Eleanor (the future Queen of France), Isabeau (the future Queen
of Denmark), and Mary (the future Queen of Hungary) at the regent's court in
the city of Mechelen (Malines). It is not certain that Don Diégo's niece was
meant to a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">demoiselle d'honneur</i> to
the three girls who were about her age. Rather than as a maid-of-honour, perhaps
she was meant to be a live-in companion to them and was to finish her education
with them as well. That she was being sent to Mechelen having reached the age
of </span>13 or 14 might have been a proviso on the part of her family rather
than the emperor.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLYUNXTltgCc8nMrxjBntLblJY5fCF1Uvs0fDp1nfNZtEdPLhb2n9xSPGmMwFk1ndkFuXMmUvHTgLAbo9vLa3SFSC7zKI-ArZO3nXtHa6k5EgVYjOrmRRdQFIc3bMhp2YnGJQuFFpwNyY-vaxMWHpqqn98cvzlPgKqw5tkuAWyRllO-guHIfSn9f8a/s822/Mechelen_Joannes_Blaeu_,map.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="822" data-original-width="822" height="487" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLYUNXTltgCc8nMrxjBntLblJY5fCF1Uvs0fDp1nfNZtEdPLhb2n9xSPGmMwFk1ndkFuXMmUvHTgLAbo9vLa3SFSC7zKI-ArZO3nXtHa6k5EgVYjOrmRRdQFIc3bMhp2YnGJQuFFpwNyY-vaxMWHpqqn98cvzlPgKqw5tkuAWyRllO-guHIfSn9f8a/w487-h487/Mechelen_Joannes_Blaeu_,map.jpg" width="487" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Map of Mechelen (Malines) <br /></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>The Court of Cambrai is indicated in red.

statement to her father that she was at her French lessons implies that she
was in the Hapsburg schoolroom rather than in service to Archduchess Margaret.
This was the opinion of historian Retha Warnicke who supported 1507 as Anne's
birth date. Warnicke had also noted that Anne Brandon, the daughter of Charles
Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, was sent to the Imperial court at age 7, as was his
ward, Magdalen Rochester, at age 8. (10) </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">What Anne also wrote to
Sir Thomas Boleyn implied she had little engagement with her hostess Margaret. Anne
stated that since her arrival, she had written a number of letters to him in
French under her tutor Symonnet, and this was the first one composed by herself
without her teacher's help. This would mean that some weeks or even months had
passed. Furthermore, she had still yet to converse with 'the queen' (here taken
to mean Margaret of Austria). Anne <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">did</i>
meet the regent when she first arrived in the Low Countries, as the archduchess
described her as being 'of such good address and so pleasing in her youthful age'
when she was presented to her by the Imperial envoy Claude de Bouton. (11) But
this audience appeared to have been brief, and then Anne was packed off to her
lessons. That she was not with Margaret indicates that she was not in constant
attendance upon her as a lady-in-waiting should be.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEF466jgmeeFOoxd8fXYvgsTUm8FG3knuErEL1kP7NRWpTEJOCMWjJkMWlk-gB5YZenBFaNrzcj9a5-jApmDmlsfg4QKZHdDqQg29gjF4CWM9NPB9SNojQItBf7H37_2mIbjDEAfv3dvt5jYsO2T3pFqpmMqe24Vu1NPOm7BOropYSkhWgC-n1xDV0/s1200/Castle_Tervuren_Jan_Brueghel.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="984" data-original-width="1200" height="367" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEF466jgmeeFOoxd8fXYvgsTUm8FG3knuErEL1kP7NRWpTEJOCMWjJkMWlk-gB5YZenBFaNrzcj9a5-jApmDmlsfg4QKZHdDqQg29gjF4CWM9NPB9SNojQItBf7H37_2mIbjDEAfv3dvt5jYsO2T3pFqpmMqe24Vu1NPOm7BOropYSkhWgC-n1xDV0/w448-h367/Castle_Tervuren_Jan_Brueghel.jpg" width="448" /></a></span></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Castle Tervuren (by Jan Brueghel)</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Then where was Anne? Her
letter to her father came from La Veure (Tervuren) where Margaret of Austria
liked to spend her spring and summer holidays with her young charges, her three
nieces and her nephew at Castle Tervuren. (12) Most likely, Anne had met
Margaret briefly upon her arrival overseas, perhaps in Brussels, where the
archduchess was negotiating the marriage of her niece Isabeau to the King of
Denmark. (13) She was then sent off to La Veure to be with the Imperial children. It is known that they were there, as a teenage Charles accidentally shot
and killed a local with his crossbow there that spring on Pentecost Monday, as
his aunt regrettably reported to her father the emperor. (14)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In the fall, Anne and
the Hapsburg children were taken to Margaret's palace in Mechelen. The archduchess's
headquarters was the Court of Savoy. But if Anne was in the schoolroom as a little girl, rather than in service as it is argued here, she would mostly
likely have been lodged in the Court of Cambria directly across the street with
Charles of Ghent and his sisters. There she would have shared lessons with the
other <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">enfants d'honneur</i>; sons and daughters of
the international elite invited to live and learn at the Imperial court. (15) Anne, as
the child of an important man, the Ambassador of England, would have been welcomed
into this circle.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">However, Hugh Paget was
certain that Anne was with the archduchess as a lady-in-waiting as he referred
to a list of the regent's staff in which a 'Mademoiselle de Bullan' (obviously
Anne Boleyn) appeared. (16) However, this was a 19th century misreading. The
lady's surname was actually 'de Bulleux'; she being a relation of one Hugues de Bulleux who served Margaret of Austria. Also, this list was actually compiled in 1525, long after Anne had left the Netherlands.

age, there is also the statements given by Roger Tywsden to consider. Tywsden
(1597–1672) was a nephew of George Wyatt (1553–1624) who had written a
biography of the tragic queen in the late 16th century. By his own account,
Tywsden received his uncle's manuscript, from which he did a partial
transcription in 1623. Among Tywsden's marginalia were significant statements
saying that when Anne was 'not above 7 years of age, Anno 1514' she went to
France, and that 'Anne was born 1507'. (18) Wyatt, from whom these notes were
derived, had reliable sources in the form of two ladies who had personally
known Anne at Henry VIII's court.

taken into consideration, there is a good argument that Anne Boleyn had gone to
the Netherlands at an earlier age than supposed. That she was deemed too young
is a modern conception, and Sir Thomas Boleyn seemingly had no qualms about
sending her abroad as a little girl. The invitation from the Archduchess
Margaret was too good to pass up, and Boleyn was not going to lose the
opportunity by waiting till Anne was older. He was ambitious for her as he was
for himself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>

ADDENDUM (Jan. 31, 2024): In their book<i> Hunting the Falcon: Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, and the Marriage that Shook Europe </i>(New York: HarperCollins, 2023), authors John Guy and Julia Fox state that Mistress Bulleux was actually Mistress Bullan (Anne Boleyn). See pages 42 and 442 (note 13). This is incorrect. That Hugues de Bulleux served Archduchess Margaret indicates that 'Bulleux' was not a misspelling of 'Bullan'.</span></span></span></p>

</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> <b>Unknown Lady, Perhaps Katherine Howard (by Hans Holbein). Royal Collection</b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Recently, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in an article entitled <i>Pandemic Sleuthing to
Re-identify a Tudor Queen</i>, Laura Loney and Ashley Risk have supported Franny
Moyle's claim (made in her book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
King's Painter: The Life and Times of Hans Holbein</i>) that miniatures of
an Unknown Lady, Perhaps Katherine Howard in the Royal Collection and in the Buccleuch Collection), were actually those of her predecessor
Anne of Cleves. (1)</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Apart from reinforcing the notion
that the Holbein sitter supposedly resembles Anne of Cleves (as proposed separately by
Moyle) and using Adobe Photoshop manipulation to match the two ladies, Loney and Risk took a novel approach in looking for secret symbols in the sitter's jewels
and clothes.
</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Incredibly, in the lady's
pendant, they have found a hidden Saint George's Cross and red
dragon, indicating the sitter's royal status. In truth, this is highly
imaginative, subjective, and difficult to see - like looking for images in inkblot test or in clouds. The
so-called cross and dragon are merely light reflections off the ruby and
emerald. As well, the claim that there are four empty casings in the sitter's French hood to imply that she was Henry VIII's fourth wife, is a stretch to say the least. Holbein was painting a straightforward portrait. There is no evidence of any secret messages here.<br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The authors also claim to see design
motifs associated with Anne of Cleves on the Holbein sitter's clothing. Again, this
is simply wildly imaginative.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Also, it was argued that 'the coloured gems worn by the sitter are predominantly red and black, colours seen in Anne’s family heraldry'. In actuality, the 'black' gems were not meant to symbolize her family ties. The seemingly black stones were diamonds. In the way they were cut in the 16th century, their facets reflected the light on their surfaces as areas of black (and white at times).<br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">An image of Anne as a child in a
family portrait from the Cathedral of Saint Lambert in Düsseldorf has been presented by Loney and Risk to how Anne's hair color. The photo shows hints of yellow and brown, so ultimately, it does not settle the matter once and for all - for or against- the Holbein sitter being Anne.<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcFd1b34HZXI94VDzQTlfpFxlyAEM3ZbNGIu3gAAqjeMq_FdQJfSMpPnbKFjlyHj-ZFZR2M1hAEE2v2rkSp_Fk1lhZ7dhwjDwfLlWkQrIrqwXYAqwSYMvhWElYlhCr-EEI7cD2Ts7aCfI/s452/kh_2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="452" data-original-width="452" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcFd1b34HZXI94VDzQTlfpFxlyAEM3ZbNGIu3gAAqjeMq_FdQJfSMpPnbKFjlyHj-ZFZR2M1hAEE2v2rkSp_Fk1lhZ7dhwjDwfLlWkQrIrqwXYAqwSYMvhWElYlhCr-EEI7cD2Ts7aCfI/w358-h358/kh_2.png" width="358" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Unknown Lady, Perhaps Katherine Howard (by Hans Holbein). Buccleuch Collection</b></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Anne's hair color was described
by Edward Hall as 'fair, yellow, and long' at her wedding day (not merely 'long
fair hair loose' as reworded by Moyle) (2), and he was almost certainly there
in person as he wrote of the ceremony in very great detail. (3) However, there have
been attempts to downplay this statement as it was incompatible with the Holbein
sitter who is a brunette. Explanations of Hall being mistaken, Anne using hair
dye, etc. are unconvincing. Hall was merely stating a simple fact - Anne was
blond - and there is no reason to disbelieve him just because it's an uncomfortable fact in reconciling the miniatures of being of Anne of Cleves.<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">While the prospect of a new portrait
of Anne of Cleves being discovered - or rediscovered - is most attractive, the
new evidence being presented does not provide a good case. A labelling of the Holbein
miniatures as that of an ' Unknown Lady, Perhaps Katherine Howard' should
remain. (4).</p>

artifacts of Anne Boleyn's 'thousand days' is a portrait medal of her made in
1534. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Cast in lead and
measuring 38 mm in diameter, it presented Anne as Queen of England ('A R', that
is 'Anne Regina') with her motto 'The Most Happy'. The medal was almost
certainly made as a prototype in anticipation of the child she was carrying in
the spring of 1534. But then in the summer, the pregnancy was entirely hushed
up, and it is believed that Anne sadly had a miscarriage. As a result, the
medal was never mass produced for distribution. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It has been suggested
that because of Anne's unpopularity as queen, the medal was deliberately damaged<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> - the
nose flattened and a side of the face scarred - </span>after her fall. (1) In May 1536, Anne was accused of high treason and
executed. Portraits of her would have been taken down and probably destroyed,
and it is thought that the disfigurement which appears on the medal was part of this
purge. However, evidence from the late 19th century suggests that no such harm had been done to the medal at that time, and in fact, the defacement - actually unintentional
- was relatively recent.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The medal came into the
collection of The British Museum through Edward Hawkins, Keeper of the
Department of Antiquities from 1826 to 1860. It was later shown to George
Scharf, the Director of the National Portrait Gallery, in 1866 or sometime
before. Scharf remarked that</span> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">it was 'brought to my notice, a
leaden medallion preserved in The British Museum. It is possibly a cast from a
carving in hone-stone, or wood, and measures 1 1/2 inch in diameter; the
sculpture in rather high relief... the face is turned slightly sideways, and
rather looking up towards the left. The letters A.R. in the field, and the
legend "THE MOOST HAPPI ANNO 1534," round the margin, show that this figure
must have been intended for Anne Boleyne'. (2)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In 1885, the medal was included
in the book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Medallic Illustrations of the
History of Great Britain and Ireland to the Death of George II </i>by the late Edward
Hawkins (he died in 1867) and edited by Augustus W. Franks, and Herbert A. Grueber.
Hawkins, before his passing, described it as 'a bust of Anne Boleyn,
three-quarters, l. (left), pedimental headdress, with a large veil at back,
cross hanging from necklace, low dress and mantle over shoulders. In the field
A.R. Leg. THE MOOST HAPPI. ANNO 1534... Probably cast from a carving in wood or
hone-stone'. (3)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">One of his editors, Grueber,
who then wrote an exhibition catalogue about the museum's medals in 1891, had
this to say - 'Anne Boleyn, 1534. Obv. Bust of Queen, nearly full face, towards
l. (left), wearing coif with veil, &c., in field A. R. THE MOOST HAPPI. ANNO
1534. Reverse plain. Lead. Size 1.5. Cast'. (4)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Repeatedly, none of the writers made note of any damage to the medal. Hawkins in
particular, who was very meticulous in including condition issues where necessary
- for example: 'very much worn or rubbed' for a medal of Edward VI,</span> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">a
'decay of the surface' (Elizabeth I), 'badly executed' (Mary Queen of Scots),
and 'extremely course workmanship' (Charles I) - made absolutely no comment
about the Anne Boleyn medal being in poor shape. (5) Likewise,
Scharf, who was a great connoisseur of old portraits (particularly from the Tudor
era) and who even liked to make his own sketches of them, said nothing as well.

depiction of its current state at the time (before the soft lead was </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">somehow </span>later squashed). </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The unintended defacement of the medal would have occurred sometime between the exhibition of it in 1891 and 1920 when Sir George Francis Hill described it as 'so hopelessly battered about the nose that what may once have been an attractive portrait has become the most pitifully grotesque of caricatures'. This was apparently the first mention of any mutilation. (8)<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In summary, observations
about the medal, beginning in 1866, strongly suggest that the damage to the Anne
Boleyn medal was not done in the 16th century, but much later. It would seem that when George Scharf saw it, the
piece was still in good condition and in 'rather high relief' as he stated. Regrettably,
some accident must have befallen it </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">between 1891 and 1920</span>, and it appeared
as it is today. (9)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Still, we can be grateful that
the medal has survived at all despite its appearance, and that it was properly documented
with a drawing showing what it looked like, thus preserving the features of the
elusive Anne Boleyn. (10)</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></p>

accepted as Anne Boleyn (see note 2 above), Scharf opined how there was 'not
much character in her countenance'.

Holbein the Younger by <span class="acopre">television producer and author Franny Moyle has received

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="acopre">In <i>The King's
Painter: The Life of Hans Holbein</i>, Moyle has made the claim that a portrait miniature
- one version in the Royal Collection and the other in the Buccleuch Collection
- of an unknown lady, commonly called Catherine Howard, the fifth wife of Henry
VIII, is actually that of her predecessor, Anne of Cleves.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="acopre"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1J6PZ4YUlf00duI-Bb7Y41erj0oSTQqgeAibBVfzs6fxsnsp830Si_dGkybv-zhVobbRFfTUhMFlTbQ-IuLzlj0GoyTFNb-CmjwWC6U1jUvuijE5z60Q7WUZ5NgBmGg6GdEXt-6JSEc8/s400/Fig_4_small.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="347" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1J6PZ4YUlf00duI-Bb7Y41erj0oSTQqgeAibBVfzs6fxsnsp830Si_dGkybv-zhVobbRFfTUhMFlTbQ-IuLzlj0GoyTFNb-CmjwWC6U1jUvuijE5z60Q7WUZ5NgBmGg6GdEXt-6JSEc8/w347-h347/Fig_4_small.png" width="347" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="acopre">Catherine Howard(?) by Hans Holbein, The Buccleuch Collection</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="acopre"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="acopre">Moyle believes there is a strong similarity of appearance between the two sitters. Such observations are entirely subjective, and Moyle has offered more substantial
evidence in the Catherine Howard(?) miniature itself. On the back of the Royal Collection version,
a playing card was stuck onto the vellum surface to give it support; it is a 4 of Diamonds.
As Anne was Henry VIII's fourth wife, Moyle opines that the card was intentionally
used by Holbein to identify her as such.</span>
</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="acopre">Furthermore,
as the sitter is wearing a French hood (as opposed to the more cumbersome headdresses associated with pictures of Anne of Cleves), Moyle suggests that this was Anne's
attempt to be more pleasing to her new husband, who disliked her Germanic
clothes.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="acopre"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOPt0sPWeK9ZdHMWS-ayiDmkRCXH3FRuuY6i3ZJxIYKKDp8Dt_qonlLGFu7SltfJiEww7DwyoUgwLhOZRHmW9IbsxHcsRG8N6UpLbEniXHHwcBimuFeGEbH7eRimL-piTrFvULAjxQWKs/s600/Anne_of_Cleves_Holbein_miniature.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOPt0sPWeK9ZdHMWS-ayiDmkRCXH3FRuuY6i3ZJxIYKKDp8Dt_qonlLGFu7SltfJiEww7DwyoUgwLhOZRHmW9IbsxHcsRG8N6UpLbEniXHHwcBimuFeGEbH7eRimL-piTrFvULAjxQWKs/w336-h336/Anne_of_Cleves_Holbein_miniature.png" width="336" /></a></div><span class="acopre"> </span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="acopre">Anne of Cleves by Hans Holbein, The Victoria and Albert Museum<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="acopre"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="acopre">While it is
known that Anne of Cleves adopted fashions <i>au courant</i> in England while she was
Queen, her actual appearance does not conform to the so-called Catherine Howard(?)
miniatures. On her wedding day, the chronicler Edward Hall, who
gave a very detailed description of the ceremony and of what Anne was wearing, described
the bride as having her 'hair hanging down, which was fair, yellow, and long' (2).
Thus Anne was blond, not a brunette as depicted in the Catherine Howard(?) miniatures. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="acopre"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="acopre"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ce84GQCPvAVuwckqdPq_z1AEV_2dfHNTaxIJ5P8TLBKPk_uNtANcikyzxE5iSge6aIYee6jXOLzJPcIoJ7KaxhSKNpvdstZ7psu3XMmVMTlEQd-LQ8jElEDdtQBjI46VB6FPY2jTmyM/s550/E0U4n_OXEAQC7vd.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="426" height="421" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ce84GQCPvAVuwckqdPq_z1AEV_2dfHNTaxIJ5P8TLBKPk_uNtANcikyzxE5iSge6aIYee6jXOLzJPcIoJ7KaxhSKNpvdstZ7psu3XMmVMTlEQd-LQ8jElEDdtQBjI46VB6FPY2jTmyM/w326-h421/E0U4n_OXEAQC7vd.jpg" width="326" /></a></div> <p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="acopre">Jane Small </span><span class="acopre"><span class="acopre">by Hans Holbein, The Victoria and Albert Museum (front)</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="acopre"><span class="acopre"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="acopre"><span class="acopre"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="acopre"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWMRiFiR_36684OkFBN_COCDUisAc27PIyKwlpZVBjXfBYVU0b6hmO2dgXM0XYDpYhP2bRv9Yuk52z6qCOUZpiSdr3xKHx57DM5FVfaPNCXfnWz9g2tZo1QIWuLWP5ZfO7jfJRlLf6GC0/s400/E0U4qW5XMAg_Bq0.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="312" height="423" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWMRiFiR_36684OkFBN_COCDUisAc27PIyKwlpZVBjXfBYVU0b6hmO2dgXM0XYDpYhP2bRv9Yuk52z6qCOUZpiSdr3xKHx57DM5FVfaPNCXfnWz9g2tZo1QIWuLWP5ZfO7jfJRlLf6GC0/w331-h423/E0U4qW5XMAg_Bq0.jpg" width="331" /></a></div><br /><span class="acopre"></span><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="acopre">Jane Small </span><span class="acopre"><span class="acopre">by Hans Holbein, The Victoria and Albert Museum (back)</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="acopre"><span class="acopre"></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="acopre"><span class="acopre"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="acopre"> Besides being ambiguous, the 4 of

(4).

This is overreaching. Brandon's prominence was due only to his former marriage to Henry VIII's sister, Mary Tudor. But she died in 1533, and Suffolk then married Katherine Willoughby, who later gave birth to their sons Henry and Charles. The two boys had no claim to royalty, and therefore, the king card was insignificant to Henry Brandon. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="acopre"> </span></p>

mother (usually a former queen herself) of the current sovereign.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Such persons are usually held in great esteem, like the late
Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother (1900-2002), but in the case of Anne Boleyn, that
was not the case. In 1536, her husband Henry VIII had her executed on charges
of high treason, and her infamy was blazoned across Europe.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Consequently, we will never know how Elizabeth I felt exactly
about her infamous parent. She was gone before her daughter was three years old,
and ever since, the subject of Anne must have been a painful one to Elizabeth.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nonetheless, there are indications that despite her silence,
Elizabeth honored her mother's memory, at least privately. You can read about
such examples here:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://tudorfaces.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-chequers-locket-ring-mother-and.html">https://tudorfaces.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-chequers-locket-ring-mother-and.html</a></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Still, Anne Boleyn made her presence felt on two great public
occasions, those marking the beginning and the end of her daughter's reign.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsdXqfetu81QoaroIW2CvZ7gnDYBNtedqVjyyUGEsiK92QzdpD7RBPqabDheglnnBXc5R0SZfb9ohCSSXamyGXmsD68EJ4tZuGSIdRgFyJUjDcif7c3XF1BmxEYlWiFh8CDtbSfe1DZuE/s800/Coronation_Procession_of_Elizabeth_I_of_England_1559.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="452" data-original-width="800" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsdXqfetu81QoaroIW2CvZ7gnDYBNtedqVjyyUGEsiK92QzdpD7RBPqabDheglnnBXc5R0SZfb9ohCSSXamyGXmsD68EJ4tZuGSIdRgFyJUjDcif7c3XF1BmxEYlWiFh8CDtbSfe1DZuE/w467-h264/Coronation_Procession_of_Elizabeth_I_of_England_1559.jpg" width="467" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>The Coronation Procession of Elizabeth I</b> <br /></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">In January 1559, at Elizabeth's coronation procession
through London, a tableau was set up at on Gracechurch Street showing the 'uniting
of the two houses of Lancaster and York.’ At the bottom were figures of Henry
VII and Elizabeth of York, in the middle Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn (which the Venetian ambassador described as being accompanied by her device of the white falcon with 'a gold crown on its head and a gilt scepter in its right talon, the other resting on a hillock; and surrounded in front of her by small branches of little roses, the coat of arms and device of the said Queen'), and at the
top Elizabeth herself.
</p><p class="MsoNormal">When Elizabeth passed away in 1603, Anne was acknowledged
again. At Elizabeth's funeral that April, <span class="css-901oao">among the
banners of her royal ancestors surrounding her hearse, was that of the
coat-of-arms of 'Henry the eight and Anne Bulleine, father and mother to our
deceased Queene, carried by the Lord de la Ware'.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This banner can be seen in an illustration of the procession.
It is the last on the second row of banners.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjfEdH8ipougLH5G8LONvrfmymFUjEYrm0l1hRNSLdFCHsBtGJHniEXoIRLh8L3qEZqykljj_astC4KYG8zRRPj4PX2h0pobYqUid3XGH2oZF3OWhMACxQs7Kca1tJUQlVRTbgEixcVMo/s1024/1406875007_1b2d02c412_b.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="456" data-original-width="1024" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjfEdH8ipougLH5G8LONvrfmymFUjEYrm0l1hRNSLdFCHsBtGJHniEXoIRLh8L3qEZqykljj_astC4KYG8zRRPj4PX2h0pobYqUid3XGH2oZF3OWhMACxQs7Kca1tJUQlVRTbgEixcVMo/w473-h209/1406875007_1b2d02c412_b.jpg" width="473" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b> The Funeral Procession of Elizabeth I</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b> </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b> </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPLqUBir-HkDEf2su8A0Q4VglnGxOtZcIq9Sjzhh-YM7uVQ_zs3XZiHW0ZNLIqEXdjpeyPmK4fuFmFetMU4e6JWlcu-QGa91BM9ezxwH-pj6SIGVJkVkXe7MdPXCyb_jhGhS6RXKFycG4/s486/Henry_VIII_Anne_Boleyn_arms.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="486" data-original-width="432" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPLqUBir-HkDEf2su8A0Q4VglnGxOtZcIq9Sjzhh-YM7uVQ_zs3XZiHW0ZNLIqEXdjpeyPmK4fuFmFetMU4e6JWlcu-QGa91BM9ezxwH-pj6SIGVJkVkXe7MdPXCyb_jhGhS6RXKFycG4/w426-h480/Henry_VIII_Anne_Boleyn_arms.jpg" width="426" /></a></div></b><br /><b> <b>The Funeral Procession of Elizabeth I (Detail, showing a banner with the arms of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn)</b> <br /></b></div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
