Jane Parker


Jane Parker, later Lady Rochford is a controversial character.
Near-contemporary sources accuse her of testifying against her husband, George and his sister Anne Boleyn, helping to cause their destruction.
More recently, researchers and writers have sought to rehabilitate her reputation. They argue she remained a loyal member of the Boleyn family.
Recently, I’ve been reading James Taffe’s new biog of Jane. It’s excellent and it makes a compelling case for Jane’s betrayal of George and Anne.
Interested to get everyone else’s take on Jane Parker…
