Was Anne Boleyn involved with any other men? - Part 1

Video Not Working? Fix It Now

In today's instalment of her series "Questions about Anne Boleyn", Claire Ridgway, author of several books on Anne Boleyn and the Boleyns, considers the other men (apart from the obvious man, Henry VIII) that Anne Boleyn was involved with or linked to. In Part 1, Claire looks at the negotiations to marry Anne Boleyn off to James Butler of Ireland, and then Anne's romance with courtier Henry Percy, son and heir of the Earl of Northumberland. What happened and why didn't Anne end up with either of these young men? Claire explains.
