Which of these events led to a considerable fall-out between Mary Boleyn and her sister?

  • Anne's ascension to queen

  • Mary’s second secret marriage

  • Mary's first marriage

  • Anne's pregnancy

Answer

Mary Boleyn had a considerable fall-out with her sister, Anne Boleyn, when she had a second secret marriage to William Stafford. This was because Anne had been hoping to marry Henry VIII herself, and saw Mary’s marriage as a threat to her own chances. The two sisters did not reconcile until after Anne’s execution in 1536.
