Notes for Baron Henry CAREY of Hunsdon
Likely a bastard of Henry VIII, Henry was given his mother’s husband’s name. According to Gregory, Henry was born 04 Feb 1526.553

Henry was briefly made a ward of Anne Boleyn after she became queen, likely to shore up the royal line in case it needed a male heir.566

Henry lived to serve his cousin Elizabeth I as courtier and sometime advisor. She gave him the title of Baron of Hunsdon on his deathbed; “To this dubious honor, the old man aptly replied that if the queen hadn't thought him worth it while he was in health, he would not accept it while ill.”566
