Anne Boleyn?

Question

Did Anne Boleyn really have 6 fingers

Answer 1

No, although it was rumored at one point that this was true if you take into consideration that at that time often birth marks were considered marks of the devil imagine how 6 fingers would be perceived. You often have to take into account Henry's view at getting a son and he would not be willing in any way to marry a woman who appeared less then 100% perfect in anyway for fear it was a mark and would affect his chances of bearing a son.

Answer 2

No, King Henry would NOT have married her, since 6 fingers, at that time, was considered a sign of the devil and a gross deformity.

It was after Anne's death when the rumor surfaced that she suffered from Polydactyly, having six fingers on her left hand (at the time considered a sign of the devil.) Although this legend is popular, it has recently been questioned on the grounds that there is no contemporary evidence to support it. None of the many eyewitness accounts of Anne Boleyn’s appearance – some of them meticulously detailed – mention any deformities, let alone a sixth finger. Moreover, as physical deformities were generally interpreted as a sign of evil it is difficult to believe that Anne Boleyn would have gained Henry's romantic attention had she had any deformities. On the basis of this evidence, many academics dismiss this story.

No extra finger, just a hint of an extra nail growing out of a pinky finger.
