Her maternal grandparents were [[Sir William Carey]] and [[Mary Boleyn]]. Mary was a sister of [[Anne Boleyn]], second wife of [[Henry VIII of England]]. Anne Knollys' mother was thus a first cousin of Queen Elizabeth, daughter of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII. Mary Boleyn had preceded her more famous sister in the King's affections, and had affairs with both [[Francis I of France]] and [[Henry VIII of England|Henry VIII]]. Both [[Catherine Carey]] and [[Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon|Henry Carey]] may have been Henry's children, although we are unsure of their exact dates of birth. If true, this would make Anne the granddaughter of Henry VIII.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-08-08 |title=Anne Knollys, Baroness De La Warr |url=https://tudorsdynasty.com/anne-knollys-baroness-de-la-warr/ |access-date=2024-02-20 |website=tudorsdynasty.com |language=en-US}}</ref> Anne's eldest sister was [[Lettice Knollys]], chief [[Lady of the Bedchamber]] to Queen Elizabeth and the mother of the queen's favourite, [[Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex]]. ==Marriage and issue== Anne Knollys married, on 19 November 1571, [[Thomas West, 2nd Baron De La Warr]], by whom she had six sons and eight daughters:{{sfn|Richardson IV|2011|pp=325-9}} *Sir Robert West, who married Elizabeth Coks and predeceased his father.{{citation needed|date=September 2013}} *[[Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr]] (7 July 1577 – c.
