Bishop Gilbert Burnet: "Reformation of the Church of England," 2.85ff.

2.85ff. 1527: Bishop Burnet throws Sander’s infamies about Ann Bolyen into the proverbial wood-chipper without further ado. He discusses Ann Boleyn’s aristocratic heritage, commendable services in French courts including a few Queens, and a good reputation at the English court. With or without an eye for Anne, Henry was moving to get Catherine put out to pasture since she was an unproductive breeding mare. It is notable that Anne was one of several dance partners in the line-up. Henry had a court full of winsome ladies. The Italian Cassali family, agents of Henry in Italy, and Wolsey were working in the workshop to get this Kate-matter ended. The Pape issues a feint and head-fake on reversing the dispensation. But, he reverses himself on that in view of the Spaniards.
