In ignorance of this Butler contract, Lingard (Hist. Engl. VI. 172, note) and other writers have been much puzzled by the terms of the bull proposed to Clement. The words refer to Anne's supposed precontract with James Butler (see Wilkins, Concilia, III. 707; Burnet, Records, I. 22; and Brewer, Letters and Papers, IV. 1637). CHAP. V.-I. Cott. MSS. Cal. D. VIII. 180; Throckmorton to Elizabeth, Jan. 10, 1561; Du Tillet, Recueil des Guerres, 156; Herbert, Henry the Eighth, 112; Carles, Epistre de la Royne d'Angleterre, 1545. Lancelot de Carles, author of the Epistre-one of the leading documents for the history of Anne Boleyn, utterly unknown to her many historians-was a well-known bishop and man of letters (see Biog. Univ. VII. 140). He knew Anne Boleyn well, and, like all the liberal ecclesiastics, he felt for her a deep respect. He was in London at the time of her arrest, and wrote the account of her trial and execution, which he saw, within a few days of her death. "Ceci fus faict a Londres le 2 du mois de June en l'an 1536" (Epistre, 47). 2. Portrait of Anne at Woburn Abbey; Sanuto Diaries, Oct. 31, 1532; Tottel, Miscellany (Coll. rep.), 48-9; Herbert, Henry the Eighth, 51, 112; Grainger, Biographical History of England, 1. 78. 3. Chapuys to Charles, June 6, 1536; Tottel, Miscellany, 52, 85, 88; Wyat, Life of Queen Anne Boleyn, 4, 5; Sanders, De Schismate Anglicano, 1. III. The best portraits of Queen Anne Boleyn give her so little beauty, that admirers have been driven to the conclusion that she was painted by the Papists after her death. See Bliss, Reliquiæ Hearniana, II. 71. 4. Throckmorton to Elizabeth, Jan. 10, 1561; Carles, Epistre de la Royne d'Angleterre, 5; Carte, Mem. Butler Fam. I.

II.; Doc. Orig. l'Hist. France, 349; Euvres de Clement Marot, 1731; Niceron, Mémoires pour servir à l'histoire des hommes illustres dans la République des Lettres, VIII. 371. 6. Wyat, Life of Queen Anne Boleyn, 3, 4; Tottel, Miscellany, 64; Hawkins, History of Music, III. 30, 31. Hawkins assigns the lines beginning "O Death, rock me asleep," to Anne Boleyn; Ritson to her brother George (see Ritson, Ancient Songs, 120). 7. Herbert, Henry the Eighth, 285. Anne's enemies bear witness to her extraordinary vivacity. (See Sanders, De Schis. Angl. 1. III.) The expression of Henry after his first conversation with Anne showed the secret of her power to charm. (See Cavendish's Life of Wolsey, 118, I21.) CHAP. VI.-I.

Boleyn's barony is omitted in the peerages (see Nicolas, Historic Peerage, 63). But there is no doubt of the creation (see Brewer, Letters and Papers, III. 1260). 5. Pat. 3 Hen.

Nott half doubted the story of the cat (Mem. of Wyat, p. II. n. I.), though he found it mentioned on the tomb at Boxley, and heard that the incident had been painted in a picture. Bruce settled the question by quotations from authentic Wyat Papers (see Gent. Mag. Sep. 1850). The picture with the cat was exhibited in the National Portrait Exhibition. 5.

Cavendish imagines that Wolsey had been sent by Henry to part the lovers; but Cavendish, though a good witness in what happened in the Cardinal's house, is no authority for what was passing in the King's mind. I have no doubt that Henry was still thinking of Anne's marriage to James Butler as a means of pacifying the Irish Pale. See Wolsey's words to Percy, Life of Wolsey, 123. CHAP. IX.-I. Cal.
