Best Answer

Mary Boleyn was Anne Boleyn's older or younger sister. Mary was one of Henry's known mistresses. It is believed that she had two children by him, a fact that cannot be proved due to her marriage to William Carey, at the time of their birth. Henry VIII never officially recognized the children as his own and they took the surname of Carey.

As a note to any who read The Other Boleyn Girl. The Other Boleyn Girl is fiction and if that were not enough it's historically inaccurate!

Her first husband was Sir William Carey; when he died, she secretly remarried to Sir William Stafford. This marriage- and subsequent pregnancy- caused her to be exiled.
