Question

Were the boelyns of royal blood? such as anne and her father, and her sisiter?

Answer 1

Yes they were of Royal blood. In order to marry into royalty back then you had to have some type of royal connection. This is why there was so much incest in the royal family.

Answer 2

Possibly she was a descendant of William the conqueror like most of the noble families at the time. But during her life time, her family was not royal but very much powerful and influential. She did marry Henry VIII as we all know, so you can say she married into royalty.

Answer 3

Anne Boleyn's bloodlines go back to Edward I and William the Conquerer, as do her father's and other family members of course. They were English aristocracy.

Answer 4

They were noble, but not royal.

Answer 5

She was of noble blood on her mother's side, and some royal blood flowed through that, the Norfolk family.

Anne Boleyn was an intelligent middle class girl who rose through the ranks to become consort to one of Europe's great matrimonial prizes - King Henry VIII. She was the daughter of Thomas Boleyn, a diplomat, and a niece of the Duke of Norfolk. She was raised and educated in the courts of France and Burgundy but was recalled to England to become a Lady in Waiting to Catherine of Aragon.

Her father was Sir Thomas Boleyn, a minor courtier with a talent for foreign languages; he was of London merchant stock and eager to advance in the world.  Like most men, he chose to marry well.  His bride was Elizabeth Howard, daughter of the second duke of Norfolk and sister of the third duke.

Mary Boleyn married William Cary (of royal descent from Edward III).

George, Anne's brother, married Jane Parker, and there is some doubt as to whether they had a son or not.

Catherine Howard, Henry VIII's fifth wife, was also a Howard. She was the daughter of Lord Edmund Howard, a younger son of the 2nd Duke of Norfolk.  All past and present dukes have been descended from Edward I.  The Norfolks were an ambitious lot!

Many can trace their lineage back to royalty, however tenuously.  There's a Boleyn genealogy below.

Answer 7

No, but as Annes relationship grew with King Henry VIII her family went up in court life.

Answer 8

Anne Boleyn, 1st Marchioness of Pembroke (1501/1507–19 May 1536) was a Queen Consort of England, the second wife of King Henry VIII and the mother of Queen Elizabeth I. Henry's marriage to Anne, and her subsequent execution, made her a key player in the political and religious upheaval that was the start of the English Reformation. The daughter of Sir Thomas Boleyn and his wife, Lady Elizabeth Boleyn (born Lady Elizabeth Howard), Anne was of more noble birth than either Jane Seymour or Catherine Parr, two of Henry VIII's later wives. She was educated in Europe, largely as a maid-of-honour to Queen Claude of France. She returned to England in 1522.

Anne was the daughter of Sir Thomas Boleyn, later 1st Earl of Wiltshire and 1st Earl of Ormonde, and his wife, Lady Elizabeth Boleyn (born Lady Elizabeth Howard), daughter of the 2nd Duke of Norfolk. Sir Thomas was a respected diplomat with a gift for languages; he was also a favourite of King Henry VII, who sent him on many diplomatic missions abroad. A lack of parish records from the period has made it impossible to establish Anne's date of birth. Contemporary evidence is contradictory, with several dates having been put forward by various historians. An Italian, writing in 1600, suggested that she had been born in 1499, while Sir Thomas More's son-in-law, William Roper, suggested a much later date of 1512. As with Anne herself, it is not known for certain when her two siblings were born, but it seems clear that her sister Mary was older than Anne. Mary's children clearly believed their mother had been the elder sister.[2] Their brother George was born some time around 1504.[3]

Answer 9

No they were not of noble blood.  They were commoner's who were raised to rank.  Even after Anne married Henry VIII she was still a commoner.
