Fix this textHEVER CASTLE, near Edenbridge, Kent, is chiefly noted as

Fix this textAnne. When Anne was seven years old she was appointed maid

Fix this textwas the gayest and most beautiful lady of the Court, and when
Fix this textshe found she had attracted the King’s attention she retired to
Fix this textHever, whither Henry followed her. If .the King did not pay his
