Rebecca Boleyn (Blooming Roses)

Rebecca Boleyn (11 June 1620 - 25 April 1645) was a daughter of Mariana Howard and George Boleyn, 3rd Duke of Wiltshire. She married Charles, Duke of Lincoln, the youngest son of King Alexander II. Her husband would die in battle shortly after the marriage and she herself would follow after the birth of their only child, Anne of Lincoln. The dukedom would revert back to the crown.

Early Life
Rebecca Boleyn was born at Hever Castle, the seat of the Dukes of Wiltshire, on 11 June 1620 to Mariana Howard and George Boleyn, Duke of Wiltshire. She was to be their only surviving child. Her mother was the daughter of Henry Howard and his Spanish wife, Mariana de Mendoza. Her paternal grandparents were Isabella Woodville and Anthony Boleyn, 2nd Duke of Wiltshire. Alexander II, breaking tradition, decided to look domestically for wives for his younger sons and it didn't take him long to settle on Rebecca Boleyn for his youngest son. He formally made a proposal in 1625 and her father eagerly accepted.
