Anne Boleyn (c.1501/1507–1536) was Queen of England and Ireland as the second wife of King Henry VIII. Chris claims to be a descendant of her from his mother's side of the family, via Daniel Weston who was supposedly on the Mayflower.[1] Note that Chris cannot even spell "Boleyn".[2]
History buffs will of course notice a problem with this. Namely that, aside from the fact that Daniel Weston did not exist, Anne Boleyn had only one daughter, Queen Elizabeth I. It is impossible for Chris to be descended from her, or indeed for anybody to be; Elizabeth I was childless and was in fact famously known as the virgin queen. It is possible for Chris to be related to her, although the evidence for either argument exists exclusively within Chris's mind.
It is not known when or how Chris got this idea. In August 2005, he tried to impress a girl on MySpace with this "fact" simply because she was interested in royalty.[3] This may have been this ridiculous notion's first outing, but it was not to be the last.
In late 2008, Chris deduced (or more likely decided) that he is also descended from Mary Boleyn (Anne's sister),[2] her brother Richard Weston, 1st Earl of Portland, born 1577),[4] and later Earls of Portland.[5] Chris had looked up Richard Weston and Mary Boleyn on Wikipedia to find a link between them[6] which fortifies the view that Chris made the whole thing up himself without being told by his mother. There is admittedly a possibility that his family tree loops back on itself, but it's probably a good deal more recent than the Tudor period.
In May 2009, Chris also cited his ancestry as one of the reasons for Wikipedia to have an article on him.[4] In the comics, Zapina is said to be studying at "Bolyn High",[7] probably named in reference to Anne Boleyn.
