|summary=Elizabeth Howard wants a noble marriage but at 16 she's married off to Thomas Boleyn, a jumped up nouveau riche who tries to hide his humble roots any way he can. It's not a love match on either side. So to compensate for her husband's shortcomings, Elizabeth throws herself into a collection of lovers and the lives of two of her three children. Yes, she dreams of rosy futures for Mary and George, but for the third child Anne, born as ugly as a monkey, Elizabeth can't envisage any future so wastes neither dreams nor love on her. However when Henry VII dies and his second son eventually takes the throne, Elizabeth realises she may not be right. Having Henry VIII as a son-in-law may do both Anne and the family a lot of good.
