In or before 1526 she married George Boleyn and became Lady of the
Bedchamber to his sister, Queen Anne Boleyn. However, in October 1534,
when the Queen's influence began to fade, she was banished from Court.
After the death of her husband and his sister, she became Lady of the Bedchamber
to Anne Boleyn's three successors. Then she was charged
with having acted as procuress for Queen Catherine Howard, and with
her was declared guilty of high treason by an Act of Attainder, 11 February
1542, and beheaded with her on 13 February 1542 on Tower Green.
