Margaret Butler - Wikipedia

Source Text:


"...She was born at Kilkenny Castle in County Kilkenny, Ireland, the daughter of Thomas Butler, 7th Earl of Ormond and Anne Hankford. Her paternal grandparents were James Butler, 4th Earl of Ormond and Joan de Beauchamp. Her maternal grandparents were Sir Richard Hankeford and Anne de Montagu..."

"...In 1465 Margaret married Sir William Boleyn, and in total they had ten children. Her son, the ambitious courtier Thomas Boleyn, became the first Earl of Wiltshire and by his marriage to Elizabeth Howard, the Duke of Norfolk's daughter, was the father of Anne Boleyn, Queen consort of England. Thus, Margaret was great-grandmother to Queen Elizabeth I of England.

Margaret's role in the rise and fall of the Boleyn clan is unknown, although there has been much speculation and theorizing.

She was the last of the Boleyns to live in Hever Castle as it was given to Anne of Cleves in 1540 sometime after her death.

Children:
1. Anne Boleyn (18 November 1475 - 6 January 1555)married Sir John Shelton..."
