she was executed, and King Henry VIII repealed a law that said that insane people could not be executed. Jane and George Boleyn did not have a son. There is no contemporary mention of them having children. That rumour comes from the later prominence of George Boleyn, the dean of Lichfield, who was probably a distant cousin. If they had had a son, he would have inherited the titles of Earl of Ormonde and Earl of Wiltshire. Instead, the inheritance went to the crown since there were no male heirs left from Thomas and Elizabeth Boleyn, and Henry passed the funds along to Mary Boleyn. In the book, when Jane Boleyn returns to the Queen's service she mentions being at Greenwich Palace and the last occasion she was there was when she nursed the dying Jane Seymour. Jane Seymour, in fact, died at Hampton Court. Her son, the future Edward VI, died at Greenwich fifteen years later. In the novel, once Katherine Howard is told by her uncle that she is to be sent to court, she promptly ends her affair with Francis Dereham and finds her desire to go is apparently stronger than her love for him. When he comes to her that night, she orders him away. Francis Dereham was not really in the same place as Katherine Howard when she was given the opportunity to go to court. He was away travelling and was not informed of her absence at the home of the dowager duchess until after his return. In the book, Jane and the Duke of Norfolk plot to put Katherine on the throne. However, there is no evidence that they even talked after the fall of Anne Boleyn. The Duke of Norfolk, after the tragedy of his niece, Anne Boleyn, is highly unlikely to have played such a dangerous game. Anne of Cleves's mother was not cruel to her. On the contrary, Anne was said to be her favourite. In the novel, Jane is said to be 30 in 1539, meaning she would have to have been born sometime in 1509. However, it is more likely that she was born in 1505 and so was 34 in 1539. In the book, Katherine Howard was said to be extremely beautiful, and as she herself says, that she "was the most beautiful girl in England"). In reality, Katherine Howard was said to be only "moderately beautiful"
