At the time when the Valor was taken Anne Boleyn had been 

 crowned for more than a year. She was beheaded 19th May, 

 1536 [Q. Katharine of Aragon having died in January]. Jane 

 Seymour, who succeeded her as queen, died 14th Oct., 1537. Her 

 brother Edward, the Lord Protector, by a patent of the 4th year 

 of her son, K. Edward VI. acquired the right for himself and his 

 heirs to appoint a Schoolmaster to the Grammar School. The 

 Seymour family were already most influential in Marlborough and 

 its environs as each page of the Valor of 1535 will testify.
