Notes about Margaret BOTELER

Margaret Butler was the younger daughter and coheir of Thomas Butler, 7th earl of Ormond (1424-August 3, 1515) and his first wife, Anne Hankeford (1431-November 13, 1485).

Before November 16, 1469, Margaret married Sir William Boleyn (1447-October 10, 1505) and was the mother of Anne (November 18, 1474 [Weir says 1478]-October 31, 1479), Anne (c.1475-December 1556), Sir Thomas (1477-March 12, 1539), Amata (Amy/Jane) (c.1485-1543), Alice (1487-November 1, 1538), Sir William (1491-1571), Sir James (1493-1561), Sir Edward (1496-1530), Margaret, John, and Anthony. It was through Margaret that her son, Thomas Boleyn, earl of Wiltshire, claimed the title earl of Ormond in 1529, taking it away from Margaret's father's cousin, Piers Butler, in exchange for the title earl of Ossory.

Margaret was rarely mentioned in her granddaughters' biographies until Alison Weir's Mary Boleyn. Weir supplies the following details: Sir William's will required Thomas Boleyn to pay his mother 200 marks/year. She lived at Blickling at that time, but went with Thomas and his family to Hever Castle in Kent c.1506. When her father died, Margaret inherited thirty-six manors. As a widow, she could have kept control of them herself but instead allowed Thomas to manage her inheritance. By 1519, she was judged to be insane. She remained at Hever Castle, allowed to stay on even it became the property of the Crown, for another twenty years. She died between September 30, 1539 and March 20, 1540. Her heir was her son Thomas's only surviving child, Mary Boleyn.
