The Other Boleyn Girl Chapter 13 Summary

How It All Goes Down

Spring 1526

  • With Mary heavy with child, she is advised to no longer "play" with the king (13.19). It ain't patty-cake they're playing, either.
  • The Boleyns don't want Henry to stray, so they send Anne to flirt with Henry in Mary's place.
  • Mary is jealous.
  • But Mary can't do anything about it.
  • Mary is soon sequestered in her birthing chamber, and a miracle happens: she has a boy.
