"To say that Thomas Boleyn and his children after him set out to be courtiers is, therefore, to say a great deal; they were taking the road to power, prestige and profit. Whether it was the road of honour is a different question, and most historians have felt that Anne's father personified all that was bad about the court. P.W. Sergeant's verdict that 'it is clearly hopeless to attempt a defence of Sir Thomas' may seem totally justified in case of a man who, on his way to an earldom, slipped, or appears to have slipped, two daughters in succession into the king's bed. Friedmann's judgement, 'mean and grasping', is certainly correct."
