What Child is this? (Greensleeves) Will Hoover über Google+vor 5 Tagen There is a persistent belief that Greensleeves was composed by Henry VIII for his lover and future queen consort Anne Boleyn. Boleyn allegedly rejected King Henrys attempts to seduce her and this rejection may be referred to in the song when the writers love cast me off discourteously. However, the piece is based on an Italian style of composition that did not reach England until after Henrys death, making it more likely to be Elizabethan in origin. ~ Alison Weir.
