Anne Boleyn’s aunt and Mary Shelton’s mother.
The story so far…
Week 15: Supremacy
At Hatfield, she tells Cromwell that Anne Boleyn has told her to beat Mary, “like the bastard she is.” Shelton has little love for the Boleyn clan: “She talks about her brother Thomas Boleyn, the most selfish man I ever knew, it is no wonder Anne is so grasping, all she has ever heard from him is talk of money, and how to gain a mean advantage over people, he would have sold those girls naked at a Barbary slave market if he had thought he would get a good price.”
