born c. 1483 - died c.1544 Character's backstory: Anne Stafford was born of a well connected and noble family. Her father had been executed by King Richard III & her mother was a sister of King Edward IV's queen. It was rumoured that Anne entered into an affair with King Henry VIII around 1510, only one year after Henry wed Queen Katherine of Aragon, and one year after Anne married Lord Hastings. Their adultery became a scandal when made public when her sister Elizabeth Stafford informed her brother, Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham, who was enraged. Her husband, Lord George Hastings, sent her to a convent. There are suggestions that her relationship with the King continued until 1513, however. *In the series she is caught having an affair with Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk for which there is no known record. Afterward, Anne was involved with the man who had been the go-between during her relationship with the king, Sir William Compton who named her in his will. * In the series another "Lady Hastings" is shown inaccurately catching the sweating sickness and dying soon after Compton. Anne was present at the Field of Cloth of Gold in 1520. She may have been at court when her brother was executed for treason in 1521. She became countess of Huntingdon in 1529 when Hastings was elevated in the peerage and from the late 1530s was part of the household of Henry VIII's daughter, Princess Mary Tudor.
