Why 1501 OR 1507?
I’ve had this question for a while but never seem to get a straight answer. Why is the argument always whether Anne Boleyn was born in 1501 OR 1507? Is it not possible she was born somewhere in between those years? I assume there is a reason that these are the two decided dates.
Obviously late 1503 and the first half of 1504 are off the table since George Boleyn was born in spring of 1504, but what about any other time? Early 1503? 1502? 55 or 56 even? Does this estimation have to do with the date of births for the deceased Boleyn boys who didn’t survive childhood?
I have always kind of believed that 1507 was too young considering the context of when she was with Margaret of Austria and her time in France, but 1501 does make her a little older than I would expect as well.
