Chris's alleged progenitor. Maybe her bloodline eventually resulting in the creation of
Sonichu was why she was accused of being
a witch.
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 a certain Daniel Weston who was purportedly on the Mayflower.[2] Note that Chris cannot even spell "Boleyn".[3]
History buffs may notice a problem with this; namely that aside from the fact that Daniel Weston never even existed, 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; Chris's home state of Virginia is named in her honor. However, it is possible for Chris to be related to her, although this is also totally unsubstantiated. It is unknown whether or not Chris and Barb plan to produce evidence of their ancestry and topple the current royal House of Windsor.
Given that Anne Boleyn only had a single legitimate child with Henry VIII - Elizabeth - before being executed, this would mean that Chris would have to be descended through a potential lovechild between Boleyn and an unknown lover - according to the laws of the United Kingdom, this effectively nullifies any chance of him being considered a candidate for the throne, as he would be an illegitimate descendent.
Current evidence suggests that Barb gave Chris this idea, which seems likely as he's been rambling about his ancestry for years, even before his discovery by the Internet. In August 2005, he tried to impress a girl on MySpace with this "fact" simply because she was interested in royalty.[4] This may have been this ridiculous notion's first outing, but it was not to be the last - as recently as 2014, in the Rental House Tour, Barb and Chris bored Catherine and Cousin Al to tears with a completely fictitious account of how the Westons are considered royalty to this day, and that she and Chris were "blood kin" to Queen Elizabeth I.
In late 2008, Chris deduced (or more likely decided) that he is descended from Mary Boleyn (Anne's sister),[3] her brother Richard Weston, 1st Earl of Portland, born 1577),[5] and later Earls of Portland.[6] Chris had looked up Richard Weston and Mary Boleyn on Wikipedia to find a link between them[7] which fortifies the view that Chris and Barb made the whole thing up. 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.[5] In the comics, Zapina is said to be studying at "Bolyn High",[8] probably named in reference to Anne Boleyn.
