However, there were plenty of rumors that Robert Devereux, who would eventually lead a rebellion against Elizabeth I, was not his son at all, and was actually the result of an early affair between Lettice and Robert Dudley. He died when his son was only a child, and was soon forgotten from history.

Anne Boleyn fans know that there were rumors of a betrothal between her and Henry Percy, the future Duke of Northumberland. But have you heard of this man, who she was supposed to marry to resolve a dispute over the Earldom of Ormonde?

James Butler. The Butlers and the Boleyns both felt they had strong claims to the Earldom of Ormonde, and because they could not resolve them, they decided to marry Anne and James, so their children would be the natural heirs and there would be no fighting.

Lorenzo Campeggio. Campeggio was given special instructions by the Pope not to make any decisions on the case, and Campeggio wasted as much time as he could so he could put off making any decision.
