The family of Bullen (Boleyne or Boleyn) is said to have been of ancient
date in the county of Norfolk. Geoffrey Boleyn came from Salle, County
Norfolk, but settled in London. Here he not only attained great opulence
but also filled the lord mayor's chair and was made a knight. He married
the eldest daughter and co-heir of Lord Hoo and Hastings and they became
the parents of several children.
In 1475 the Register of the Fraternity of the Holy Trinity at Luton,
which had been founded that year, mentions Thomas Hoo, Lord Hastings, and
Elizabeth his wife; Sir Geoffrey Boleyn, late Lord Mayor of London, and
Dame Anne, his wife, daughter of the said Lord
Hastings; William Boleyn, esquire; Thomas Hoo, esquire; Thomas Hoo
of Walden; and Laurence Hoo of East Hyde and Alice, his wife.
