Groom of the Privy Chamber to Henry VIII
|
William Brereton, c. 1487/1490 – 17 May 1536, was a member of a prominent Cheshire family who served as a courtier to Henry VIII. In May 1536, Brereton was accused of committing adultery with Anne Boleyn, the king's second wife, and executed for treason
along with her brother George, Henry Norris, Francis Weston and a musician, Mark Smeaton. Many historians are now of the opinion that Anne Boleyn, Brereton and their co-accused were innocent.
