Anne Boleyn
Anne Boleyn (died 1536) was Queen of England 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 on the Mayflower.[1]
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.[2]
In late 2008, Chris deduced that he is also descended from Mary Boleyn (Anne's sister, not mother), the 1st Earl of Portland (Richard Weston, who was born later in 1577),[3] and later Earls of Portland.[4] Chris had looked up Richard Weston and Mary Boleyn on Wikipedia to find a link between them.[5] This fact strengthens the view that Chris made the whole thing up himself without being told by his mother. And although it is quite possible that his family tree loops back in on itself, it's probably a good deal more recent than the Tudor period.
In May 2009, Chris gave his ancestry as a reason for Wikipedia to have an article on him.[6]
Not possible
Aside from the fact that Daniel Weston did not exist, Anne Boleyn had only one daughter, Queen Elizabeth I. It is downright false that Chris is descended from her, because, like Chris, Elizabeth I was a famous virgin with rage. Here is an example of Chris's lackluster research:
- <cogsdev> What countries in the world you would like to visit and why?
- <ChrisChanSonichu> Japan; Anime and Videogames and culture.
- <ChrisChanSonichu> England.
- <ChrisChanSonichu> France
- <ChrisChanSonichu> those two, because I'm part British, French and Cherokee; I'm a decendant from Anne Bolyn's Family; in relation to her being an aunt.
- <ChrisChanSonichu> *mother of Queen Elizabeth I[7]
Luckily YouTube wasn't invented in the 16th century, nor was Queen Elizabeth known to sit around the Ye Olde shoppes with idiotic signs.
On the other hand, Queen Elizabeth was a perpetual virgin (officially, anyway; rage status unknown), and one of her alleged romances was with a man who ended up committing high treason, which is not dissimilar to 16th-Century Trolling. This makes it slightly more plausible for Chris to be a relative of Her Britannic Majesty.
On the other other hand, Liz was pretty good at politics, supposedly quite attractive, well-dressed, and very good at manipulating her public image. Unlike Chris.
