Weir 2011, p. 12 claims that the memorial at Penshurst to Thomas Boleyn includes the date ‘1520’. In fact no date is marked and it is simply implausible that the eldest son of Sir Thomas Boleyn could have survived to adulthood with no mention at all being made of him in contemporary records.

James is referred to only as James Boleyn in a number of documents from early in Henry VIII’s reign, such as commissions of the peace from 1511 (L&P I 1714) and 1512 (L&P I 3426).

7.
Loades 2011, p. 17 states that James was knighted in 1520. This appears to be taken from James’s entry in Bindoff 1982. However, Bindoff took the date from Leonard 1970, p. 309. Upon reviewing Leonard’s work there is no source given for the actual date of the knighthood, merely a source showing him as a knight in November 1520. However, as set out below, he was actually already referred to as a knight in December 1516.
