Mistresses of Henry VIII by Josephine Wilkinson was published, and in 2012, Alison Weir published "Mary Boleyn: 'The Great and Infamous Whore". In 2013, this was followed by "Bessie Blount: Mistress to Henry VIII" by Elizabeth Norton.

He was involved with his second wife, Anne Boleyn, from around 1526, around the time he ended his relationship with her sister, Mary; Anne was also, at the time, maid-of-honour to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.
