Sir Francis Weston

Sir Francis Weston (1511 – 17 May 1536) was a gentleman at the court of King Henry VIII of England. He became a friend of the king and gained a sad fame by being one of the men accused alongside Anne Boleyn. Charged with high treason and adultery with the queen, he was condemned to death together with George Boleyn, Viscount Rochford, Sir Henry Norris, Sir William Brereton and Mark Smeaton. They were all executed in the year 1536, shortly before the queen.
