Jane Boleyn

She witnessed some of the most monumental events of Henry VIII’s reign. She was a lady-in-waiting to five of his six queens. The sister-in-law to one, and a cousin-in-law to another. She callously brought about the downfall of her husband and sister-in-law and led a young girl farther into sin and to the block. Or so the legend goes. When Jane Boleyn, Lady Rochford laid her head upon the block on the cold February morning, the real woman died and a myth of the “Infamous Lady Rochford '' was born.
