1st September 1532 | Anne Boleyn becomes Marquess of Pembroke

On this day in 1532, King Henry VIII elevated his love and soon-to-be-Queen, Anne Boleyn, to the title of Marquess of Pembroke - a brand new title of nobility for his love. Although he was still technically married to Queen Katherine of Aragon, he was already planning his future with his new romantic interest, and in order to prepare for marriage it was necessary to bump her up in status. Along with this elevation, Anne Boleyn also received lands in Wales and an increase in wealth. 

This was significant for a number of reasons, the first being that no other woman had ever been bestowed with the title, secondly, the earldom of Pembroke had previously been held by Henry’s great-uncle, Jasper Tudor, and so had strong royal connections, and finally the title made Anne the most prestigious non-royal woman in the realm.
