Anne's Diary-October 1530

My beloved mistress gave you to me little book as I bid her and the Netherlands far well to return to my home, England. Indeed thought I consider myself to be a faithful resident the Netherlands I am by birth English.

I was born in 1508 the third child of Sir Thomas and Lady Elizabeth Boleyn in Hever castle. My older siblings are Mary and George, born in 1499 and 1504 respectfully. My mother died not a week after I was born breaking my father's heart forever, turning him in to a cold power hungry man. When I was but four years old my father traveled to the court of Lady Margaret of Austria.

My father became friends with Lady Margaret and when she heard about his three motherless children she invited us to live in her court. My older sister Mary and I traveled to her court in 1512 where I spent the past eighteen years. Mary left Lady Margaret's court in 1515 to travel to France where she made quite a name for herself (as mistress to any man who could gain my father power).

In 1520 father became Earl of Wiltshire for his work in the Field of Cloth of Gold, a treaty between France and England. After King Henry's trip to France my father recalled Mary so she could become the King's mistress, and she was until she died in childbed four years ago. My brother never traveled to Lady Margaret's court, father said he was needed in England. Three years ago father began the search to find George a proper wife, one that would bear the Boleyn family many sons. Alas George never did get to marry because before a bride could be found it was discovered that my brother was a having a sexual relationship with another man, an offense that in England is punishable with death.

I have been lucky; my father knowing the favor I have gained in Lady Margaret's court has never tried to recall me to England to become mistress for some wealthy man. I have enjoyed my time at court and return now to England sadden at the loss of my true home. Lady Margaret took great care with my education to ensure that when it comes time for me to marry I will be able to attract a husband with my wits rather than my body. I know that the ability to read and speak Latin, French, Italian, German, and Spanish may deter some men but I pray to god every night that he would see fit to find me a good a loyal husband.

God must have heard some of my prayers because when I arrive in England I will assume the title of Countess of Wiltshire as my father one living heir. Before my father could try to either marry me of place me as mistress to one of the more powerful men a court he was killed in a hunting accident one month ago. I know that I should not rejoice at my father's death, but I do feel much safer with the knowledge that the choices I make once I step foot on English soil are my own and I can carve my own path through history.
