Boleyn family
English noble family
The Boleyn family was a prominent English family in the gentry and aristocracy. They reached the peak of their influence during the Tudor period, when Anne Boleyn became the second wife and queen consort of Henry VIII, their daughter being the future Elizabeth I.[1]
History
John Boleyn of Salle, Norfolk first appears on the register of Walsingham Abbey.[2] There is a possibility that John Boleyn had a father by the name of “Simon de Boleyne” who purchased lands in the aforementioned village of Salle, Norfolk in 1252.[3]

It has been suggested that the surname "Boleyn" was originally pronounced as "Boulogne", owing the idea of a French origin for the family.[4]
