Lena asked this question about The Boleyn Inheritance (The Plantagenet and Tudor Novels, #10):
What was the relationship between Anne and her brother in the beginning? I'm getting a sense of incest coming from the brother but it never gets explained.
Viola Russell There was no evidence Anne Boleyn actually slept with her brother or committed adultery with anyone. Henry wanted a son, and Anne did not provide one.…moreThere was no evidence Anne Boleyn actually slept with her brother or committed adultery with anyone. Henry wanted a son, and Anne did not provide one. She had a girl, and then, some evidence exists the she had a miscarriage. Henry's attention soon moved to Jane Seymour, and he was willing to invent charges to get rid of his wife, including the charge that she was a witch. Anne, of course, had seduced Henry from his first queen, Katherine of Aragon. (less)
