Per Genealogics:
     John Hale, vicar of Isleworth, was accused of having denied the King's supremacy and, on 20 April 1535, stated to the Council that he had seen the nine-year-old Henry Carey, the king's son. He would have known the sentence for denying the King's supremacy and on 4 May 1535, just two weeks later was executed at Tyburn.
     Henry VIII kept the existence of an illegitimate child a secret until acknowledgment might suit him. Henry Fitzroy was born in 1519 but there is no record of his existence until the king ennobled him in 1525. The facts of the doubly adulterous births of Henry VIII's children by Mary Boleyn, had they been acknowledged, would surely later have had manifold catastrophic effects. Most important of all: Henry VIII's legitimacy as King and Defender of the Faith would have been at least seriously compromised, very possibly destroyed.
     The Boleyn family had been in disgrace since 1536 but Henry Carey's sister, Catherine, in 1539, became a maid of honour to Anne of Cleves. At the time of Henry Carey's marriage, in May 1545, he was in Henry VIII's household. Catherine and Henry Carey were, with the Princess Elizabeth, the nearest kin of the disgraced Queen Anne Boleyn, but it is most likely they were nearer to King Henry VIII. Henry Carey was created Baron Hunsdon by Elizabeth I. In October 1562, when the Queen thought herself dying, she especially commended Henry Carey, Lord Hunsdon, to the care of her Council. For Queen Elizabeth I, the truth about her half-siblings/first cousins, the Careys would have been, at the very least, a major domestic and European embarrassment and, almost certainly, a serious impediment to the full establishment and maintenance of her legitimacy, compromising her claim to the throne.²

From Wikipedia:
     Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon (4 March 1526 – 23 July 1596) was an English peer and courtier. He was the patron of the Lord Chamberlain's Men, William Shakespeare's playing company. The son of Mary Boleyn, he was a cousin of Elizabeth I.
Early life
     Henry Carey was the second child of William Carey and Mary Boleyn, who was the sister of Anne Boleyn, the second wife and Queen of Henry VIII. Carey and his elder sister Catherine came under the wardship of their maternal aunt Anne Boleyn, who was engaged to Henry VIII at the time. The children still had active contact with their mother, who remained on good terms with her sister, until Mary's secret elopement with a soldier, William Stafford (later Lord of Chebsey) in 1535.
     Anne Boleyn acted as her nephew's patron and provided him with an excellent education in a prestigious Cistercian monastery. He was also tutored at some point by the French poet Nicholas Bourbon, whose life had been saved from the French Inquisition after Queen Anne Boleyn's intervention.
     Carey's royal aunt was beheaded in May 1536, when he was ten years old. His mother died seven years later in 1543 on her estate in Essex. On 21 May 1545 he married Anne Morgan, daughter of Sir Thomas Morgan, of Arkestone, Herefordshire, and Anne Elizabeth Whitney.
Royal appointments
     Carey served twice as Member of Parliament, representing Buckingham during 1547–1550—entering when he was 21—and 1554–1555. He was knighted in November 1558 and created Baron by his first cousin Elizabeth I of England on 13 January 1559. His sister, Catherine, was one of Elizabeth's favourite ladies-in-waiting and the Queen was very generous to her Carey relatives.
     Carey's Baronial estate consisted of the manors of Hunsdon and Eastwick, Hertfordshire and possessions in Kent. Hunsdon had previously belonged to Elizabeth's predecessor Mary I. Carey was also granted an annual pension of £400. On 31 October 1560 he was appointed master of the queen's hawks with a salary of £40 a year.[2] On 20 April 1561, Carey also became a Knight of the Garter.
     In 1564, Elizabeth appointed Carey Captain of the Gentlemen Pensioners, a position making him effectively her personal bodyguard for four years. He accompanied her to Cambridge University in 1564, for which he was awarded an MA.[3] On 25 August 1568, Carey was appointed Governor of Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland.
Trouble on the border
     Carey and William Drury heard that trouble on the Scottish borders was caused by Dan Carr or Ker of Shilstoke-Bray, who was said to have visited Mary, Queen of Scots, at Carlisle Castle. She was supposed to have encouraged Carr to make trouble in Teviotdale, Liddesdale, and the West borders, and to spread seditious literature to make difficulties for Regent Moray, who now ruled Scotland. Carey set men to watch for him, and Carr was eventually captured by Walter Ker of Cessford. Mary told Carey's son, George Carey, that the unrest was caused by her enemies, who hoped for English reprisals against her supporters.[4]
Northern Rebellion
     The year 1569 was the beginning of the Rising of the North (November 1569 – February 1570), a major uprising instigated by Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, Charles Neville, 6th Earl of Westmorland and Thomas Percy, 7th Earl of Northumberland. The rebellion expected the support of the Roman Catholic Pope Pius V.
     Carey was appointed Lieutenant General of the forces loyal to the Queen. His February victory over Sir Leonard Dacre near Gelt Bridge between Naworth and Carlisle was instrumental in crushing the rebellion.[5] Nearly three thousand rebels ambushed Carey's party of half that size, but Carey was nonetheless victorious in fending off the assault.
     A number of the rebels crossed the border to Scotland but were there targeted by the forces of the Scottish leader, Regent Lennox. Carey could still appreciate the courage of Dacre's soldiers. In his letter to the Queen detailing the victory, he made mention of the rebel charge "the bravest charge that ever I saw!". He was rewarded with a personal note of thanks from Queen Elizabeth I that read in part:
     The victorious Carey was appointed Warden of the Eastern March and represented the Queen in signing a treaty with Regent Mar on 23 October 1571. He was made keeper of Somerset House and its gardens on the Strand on 31 July 1574.[6] He was then named a Privy Counsellor in 1577. On 16 January 1581, Carey was appointed Captain-General of the forces responsible for the safety of English borders. He was appointed Lord Chamberlain of the Household in July 1585 and would hold this position until his death. This did not prevent Elizabeth from appointing him Lord Chamberlain Lieutenant, Principal Captain and Governor of the army "for the defence and surety of our own Royal Person". The appointment occurred on 20 July 1588 in Tilbury.
     Carey also served as Chief Justice in Eyre, south of the River Trent between 1589 and his death. He was Joined Commissioner of the Office Earl Marshal and High Steward of Ipswich and Doncaster. He served as Chief Justice of the Royal Forces between 20 December 1591 and his death. On 2 March 1592 Carey was appointed High Steward of Oxford for life.
Affair with Emilia Lanier
     In 1587, Carey began an affair with Emilia Lanier (1569–1645), who was the daughter of a Venetian-born court musician. Carey, 45 years older than Lanier, was Elizabeth's Lord Chamberlain at the time of their affair and a patron of the arts and theatre (he was the patron of Shakespeare's theatre company, known as the Lord Chamberlain's Men, but not until two years after their affair was over).
     Records indicate that Carey gave Lanier a pension of £40 a year. Lanier apparently enjoyed her time as Carey's mistress. An entry from Simon Forman's diary reads "[Lanier] hath bin married 4 years/ The old Lord Chamberlain kept her longue She was maintained in great pomp... she hath 40£ a yere & was welthy to him that married her in monie & Jewells".[7] In 1592, when she was 23, Lanier became pregnant with Carey's child. Carey paid her off with a sum of money and then married her off to her first cousin once removed, Alfonso Lanier, a Queen's musician. Church records show the two were married in St. Botolph's church, Aldgate, on 18 October 1592.[8] In 1593, Lanier gave birth to Carey's son, Henry, presumably named after his father.
Death
     Carey died at Somerset House, Strand on 23 July 1596 and was buried on 12 August 1596 at Westminster Abbey. On his deathbed he refused his cousin Elizabeth I's offer to make him Earl of Wiltshire, saying: "Madam, as you did not count me worthy of this honour in life, then I shall account myself not worthy of it in death."
     Two of his sons, George, and John, successively followed him as Baron Hunsdon.
Relation to Henry VIII
     Carey's mother, Mary Boleyn, was mistress to King Henry VIII from 1520.[9] The exact dates when the affair started and ended are unknown, although it is believed to have ended by the time Carey was born on 4 March 1526.[10]
     Contemporary rumours stated that Carey was an illegitimate child of Henry VIII. Some ten years after the Carey was born, John Hales, vicar of Isleworth, remarked that he had met a "young Master Carey", whom some monks believed to be the king's son. However, as Eric Ives has pointed out, the vicar was hostile towards the Boleyn family and may just have been causing trouble.[11]The idea that Carey was Henry VIII's secret son has inspired modern historical fiction, such as the novel The Other Boleyn Girl. Alison Weir in her biography of Mary Boleyn concluded that the preponderance of evidence points to Henry Carey's sister, Catherine Carey, as being the only offspring of Mary's relations with Henry VIII.
Issue
     Carey and Anne Morgan's marriage resulted in the birth of thirteen children:

; In my view, with cases of disputed paternity that are supported by unambiguous and powerful circumstantial evidence the likeliest candidate should be shown as father in a genealogy (despite legal incongruencies), with clear indications nonehtheless of just who the legal "father" is/was. So, as to the _DNB_, I think it should be stated that Henry VIII was probably the father of the 1st Lord Hunsdon, though Hunsdon was nominally the son of his mother's husband William Carey.

In this particular instance, I think this is especially justified as a number of leading Tudor historians (Wallace MacCaffrey (Harvard), Dale Hoak (William and Mary), inter alios) concur with my hypothesis that Henry VIII probably fathered the Carey children of Mary Boleyn.

; I may be breaking a record by replying to a post over two years after it was made, but I just ran across the reference I referred to earlier (regarding the earlier work in which I saw the Henry-Carey-as-son-of-Henry-VIII passage quoted). It appears on p. 324 of Paul Friedmann, "Anne Boleyn: A Chapter of English History 1527-1536" (London, 1884), vol. 2:
"There is still at the Record Office a paper containing the confession of a monk of Syon, in which the following passage occurs: 'Moreover, Mr. Skydmore did show me young master Care, saying that he was our sovereign lord the king's son, by our sovereign lady the queen's sister, whom the queen's grace might not suffer to be in the court.' [footnote: R. O. 26th, Henry VIII. Box Q, No. 127.]"

To give this come context, here's my original post (of 11 June 2001):

>> Yes - Hoskins does say that "rumours regarding Henry Carey's royal paternity have long circulated...", and cites Complete Peerage vol.6, pp.627-8 (which mentions the possibility that Henry VIII was the father) and Gerald Paget, "The Lineage and Ancestry of H.R.H. Prince Charles..." (1977), vol.1, p.33 (which lists four possible illegitimate children of the king).



I recognize that Hoskins did not claim to be the first to suggest the paternity of Henry Carey. What I dispute it his apparent claim that his article represents the first quotation/discussion of the letter of the vicar of Isleworth mentioning "young master Carey."

I am fairly certain that I have read a more complete discussion of the actual letter before 1993, but the following reference will suffice to show that the letter was known and cited long before Hoskins' article:

"Next there was Mary Boleyn, since 1521 wife of William Carey....That Mary was at one time Henry's mistress, and this presumably after her marriage, is beyond doubt. [footnote: Friedmann, _Anne_Boleyn_ (1884), app. B -- which destroys Froude's attempt to exculpate Henry of this adultery.] Years later there was a strong rumour that she too had born Henry a son [footnote: In 1535 John Hale, vicar of Isleworth, said that a Brigettine of Sion once showed him 'young master Carey', saying that he was Henry's bastard. _L.P._, viii, 567.], but we cannot be sure." (J. J. Scarisbrick, _Henry_VIII_ (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1968), pp. 147-148).

>> I think Hoskins does claim to be the first to suggest that Henry Carey's sister Catherine was also a child of the king, though.

I'm fairly certain I've seen this claimed elsewhere and earlier as well, but I can't remember where .
