  2. ^ The birth date of Anne Boleyn is uncertain. From the spring of 1513 to the autumn of 1514, as daughter of a high ranked diplomat she lived either in Margarete's palace, as the later Charles Quint, if she would have been nearly his age; or just across the street in Margaret of York's palace if significantly younger. Margarete of Austria affectionately referred to Anne as "la Petite Boleyn" during a formative stage in her upbringing at the court.

This source also mentions John Rastell, lawyer; and John Clement as Thomas More's son-in-law – confounding their relationships with More: see ref above & Wikipedia's John Rastell as son-in-law of *More + "The Jesuit, John Rastell (1532-1577), who has been frequently confounded with him, was no relation". For assuming Rastell to have lived in Mechelen, further references would be required.
