Mary Boleyn and Queen Elizabeth II

Posted By Claire on September 10, 2015

I’ve had a few people ask why I, as an owner of an Anne Boleyn website, have been involved in a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on the day she became Britain’s longest reigning monarch.

Well, there are three answers to the question:

1.  I’m British and I have the greatest respect for my royal family, so wanted to pay tribute to Her Majesty’s achievement.

2.  I know that many of my followers are interested in British history and Birtish royalty.

3.  Queen Elizabeth II is descended from Mary Boleyn, sister of Anne Boleyn.

I thought you might be interested in how Queen Elizabeth II is descended from Mary Boleyn, so here is the line of descent and I hope you find it interesting:

  • Mary Boleyn (d. 1543) m. William Carey
  • Catherine Carey (c.1524-1569) m. Sir Francis Knollys

February 1229 A.D. Council of Toulouse--"We prohibit laymen possessing copies of the Old and New Testament

February 1229 A.D.   Council of Toulouse-- "We prohibit laymen possessing copies of the Old and New Testament" Wohlberg, Steve. “Papal Rome Against the Bible.”   White Horse Media. N.d. http://www.whitehorsemedia.com/articles/?d=99#.VJGcA8J0xjo .   Accessed 16 Dec 2014.   From the 1200s to the 1800s, Papal leaders openly condemned the reading of the Bible in the vernacular (the language of the common people) and even persecuted those caught with copies of the Scriptures in their possession. Because Bible Societies (beginning in the 1800's) won the war and have spread God's Word around the world, Rome has backed off of its previously public position. Yet the Vatican has not changed. Papal Rome's opposition to pure Bible truth remains to this day. Note these historical statements: At the Council of Toulouse (1229 A.D), papal church leaders ruled: "We prohibit laymen possessing copies of the Old and New Testament ... We forbid them most severely
