Page "Anne Boleyn" Paragraph 45

Anne's family also profited from the relationship.

Her father, already Viscount Rochford, was created Earl of Wiltshire.

Henry also came to an arrangement with Anne's Irish cousin and created him Earl of Ormond.

At the magnificent banquet to celebrate her father's elevation, Anne took precedence over the Duchesses of Suffolk and Norfolk, seated in the place of honour beside the King which was usually occupied by the Queen.

Thanks to Anne's intervention, her widowed sister Mary received an annual pension of £ 100, and Mary's son, Henry Carey, was educated at a prestigious Cistercian monastery.
