The Other Boleyn Girl

Mary Boleyn Carey Stafford 


So i finally got around to watching The Other Boleyn Girl and it made a really good case for Henry Carey being the son of Henry Tudor.
You see, Henry Tudor played around... a lot... he had numerous mistresses in England among them my were my ancestors, Mary Boleyn and Agnes
Blewitt...
This movie focuses on the story of Great Grams Mary Boleyn who married a Carey but was for a time the mistress of Henry VIII... about the time she had her son who just happened to be named Henry Carey. Now i aint saying he is or he aint a tudor, but this movie sure seems to say yea verily.....
