George Boleyn

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

At last - a biography of Anne Bolyen’s brother George in English! Claire Ridgeway of the website TheAnne BoleynFiles has joined forces with experts to translate the nineteenth century French  work by Edmond Bapst ‘Two Gentlemen poets at the Court of Henry VIII: George Boleyn and Henry Howard’ and included all his footnotes. A fantastic book for anyone interested in the period,  and available on Amazon. The picture  here is one of a minor court figure, Simon George of Quocote, but he looks as I imagine our George might have done!
