Private Incest

An online exhibition showcasing parchments from Henry’s reign, including graphic claims of incest, which are held by National Archives to mark the 500th anniversary of his accession in 1509.

A section on his marital affairs includes a rare glimpse of the official record of the trial of Anne Boleyn, Henry’s second wife, and her brother George Boleyn, who were accused of high treason and incest.

Anne’s relationship with Henry set the course of British history, triggering England’s split with Rome amid his divorce from his first wife Catherine of Aragon.

Among more arresting claims is the allegation that Anne had allegedly “tempted her brother with her tongue in the said George’s mouth and the said George’s tongue in hers”.

The indictment alleges that she lured him with presents and jewels before they went on to sleep together “contrary to all human laws”.

While historians have dismissed the allegations as trumped up charges, to free Henry from his controversial marriage to Anne, but the details are still kinky enough to raise a few brows on the scandalous lives of the royal family.
