(If anyone says she had a sixth finger or a show of a nail they are basing their "facts" from asalaciousbook which was published by one Nicholas Sander almost a hundred years after she died, Chapuys who -hated- the once Queen Anne and referred to her in his letters as "the concubine" surely would have made some comment about the sixth finger even if it were a show of a nail, had it existed. At the time deformities were considered a sign of a immoral soul, witch craft and corruption, such a great thing would not have gone unmentioned in his correspondence with H.R.E. Charles V. )
