Thomas Boleyn , KG, Earl Wiltshire & Ormond, Sir 
Thomas was born about 1477 in Blickling, Aylsham, Norfolk, England. Thomas' father was William Boleyn , KB, Sir and his mother was Margaret Butler. His paternal grandparents were Geoffrey Boleyn , Lord Mayor of London, Sir and Anne Hoo; his maternal grandparents were Thomas Butler , KB, 7th "The Wool" Earl of Ormond and Anne Hankeford. He was an only child. He died in Hever, Sevenoaks, Kent, England.General Notes
Sir Thomas Boleyn, KG, Earl of Wiltshire, b. c 1477, d. Hever, Kent 12 or 13 Mar 1538/9; m. c1500 Elizabeth Howard, d. 3 Apr 1538, buried 7 Apr 1538, daughter of Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk. [Magna Charta Sureties]
Note: Both MCS & AR give c 1477 as his birthdate. Both give 1465 as his mother's birthdate & 1485 as her marriage (MCS says "bef 1485"). Thus he was born when she was 12 years old and 8 years before her marriage! I have serious doubts about his birth year.
---------------------------------------
Then there was the Boleyn bombshell. In 1529 Henry created Thomas Boleyn, Earl of Ormond, after making Red Piers, who had been governor of Ireland, Earl of Ossory. But ten years later, after the Boleyns had fallen from favour, Piers emerged from the interlude with two Earldoms and died the next year in 1539. [Butler Family History]
