Henry Carey, born March 1526, was Mary's second child (her first child, Catherine, was born in 1524). King Henry the VIII is widely reputed to be the father of at least Henry, if not Catherine as well however this assumption is stlll questioned even today.

Henry Carey's legal father, William Carey, died from the sweating sickness in June 1528 when Henry was 2 years old. Henry and his sister Catherine came under the wardship of Anne Boleyn (against Mary's wishes), who was engaged to King Henry the VIII at the time. The children had active contact with their mother until her banishment from court in 1535.

Acting as her nephew's patron, Anne Boleyn provided Henry with top-quality education until she was beheaded in May 1536, when Henry was 10 years old. His mother died in 1543 and he was returned to his family.

In May 1545 Henry married Anne Morgan, daughter of Sir Thomas and Anne Morgan. They had twelve children in total, although only eight survived - sons George, John, Henry, William, Edmund, Robert (plus an unknown son) and daughters Katherine, Philadelphia and Margaret.

Henry also has several illegitimate children, including Valentine Carey, who served under his father in the military.

Henry Carey lived a full life and died of old age, was a Member of Parliament, was Knighted, became the first Baron Hunsdon, a Knight of the Garter, Master of the Queens Hawks, was a successful leader in the army and was endowed with many other positions of trust and power. The Queen at this time was his first cousin Elizabeth the First.

Henry Carey died at Somerset House on July 23rd 1596 and was buried at Westminster Abbey.
