Sir Francis Knollys's Latin dictionary: new evidence for Katherine Carey

A Latin dictionary once owned by Sir Francis Knollys has come to light containing his records of his marriage to Katherine Carey, daughter of Mary Boleyn, and the births of their fourteen children. These previously unpublished details (here transcribed) strengthen the argument that Katherine was an illegitimate child of Henry VIII, born during his affair with Anne Boleyn's sister. Sir Francis's handwritten notes also reveal his wife's remarkably successful series of pregnancies; and the birth date of his daughter Lettice - branded a 'she-wolf' by Elizabeth I - who turns out to be younger than is usually claimed when she married Robert Dudley, earl of Leicester.
