To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
Mary Boleyn was single when she had her affair with Henry VIII, then was quickly "married off" by Henry to another man when his attention turned towards Anne. Mary's son was born during a time frame that suggests that either of the two men could have been the father. However, most historians believe that if Henry truly believed that the boy was his, he would have made some sort of provision for allowing the child to succeed to the throne if necessary, just as he did with his son by mistress Bessie Blount. [This is not true. The movie is based on the book by Philippa Gregory, which states that Mary was married with William Carey when she was 12, whereas she started her affair with Henry at 14 years old. She then moved out of the house she shared with William, to live close to the Queen in the Palace and never again slept with her husband until her affair with Henry was done. Therefore, both her children were Henry's.]
