![]() ![]() Was Mary Boleyn a tart, or a beautiful, well brought up young English girl who caught the eye of two powerful men who did not take “no” for an answer? Historian Alison Weir, in her latest book Mary Boleyn: The King’s Mistress (UK: Mary Boleyn: The Great and Infamous Whore), concludes the latter is the more accurate historical representation. History has long maligned the other Boleyn girl-Mary-as the slightly slutty sister of Anne, infamous for attracting the amorous attentions of two Renaissance kings, but failing to hold the attention of either and failing to profit (jewels, castles, titles) from either liaison.
