George Boleyn, dean of Lichfield

George Boleyn, dean of Lichfield, (d.1603), was a colourful character at the court of his kinswoman, Elizabeth I of England. He is sometimes thought to have been the son of George Boleyn, Viscount Rochford and his wife Jane Parker and thus Elizabeth I's first cousin. It is more likely that they were more distantly related. [Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, George Boleyn, dean of Lichfield by Stanford Lehmberg]
