Mary was probably born at Blickling Hall, the family seat in Norfolk, and grew up at Hever Castle, Kent. She died seven years later, having spent the remainder of her life in obscurity.
This secret marriage to a man considered beneath her station angered both King Henry VIII and her sister, Queen Anne, and resulted in Mary's banishment from the royal court. Mary Boleyn was married twice: in 1520 to William Carey, and again, secretly, in 1534, to William Stafford, a soldier from a good family but with few prospects. Mary was also rumoured to have been a mistress of Henry VIII's rival, King Francis I of France, for some period between 15. It has been rumoured that she bore two of the king's children, though Henry did not acknowledge either of them. Mary was one of the mistresses of Henry VIII for an unknown period of time.
