I was just wondering....

I am just wondering how one would prove that their ancestor may or may not be a child of Henry VIII?How many mistresses did the man supposedly have?He married and divorced a lot but lovers?Just a question.

Thanks

I have been told by some cousins in Canada that our ancestor Agnes Bluet/Blewett was one of his mistresses and she married an Edwards and they had a son that is supposed to be a child of Henry VIII. Have yet to see any documentation, so do not know for sure.

Seems in my tree I have quite a few links to Henry VIII but as to whether that can be supported or not is another story

I agree with you completely. Without documentation it would be hard to prove. Anne Bolyne's sister Mary, I believe, had a daughter by Henry VIII and she married another person and the daughter was given the surname of Mary's husband and that line came down to the De la Wares and West's. Delaware (state) got it's name from the De la Ware sure name.
