Does anyone know of a song called 'The King's Gone Over to Bulleyne' or similar, about Henry VIII's capture of Boulogne.

Bulleyne was the earlier spelling of Anne Bolyn's name. That may make searches difficult.

C16th lyrics songs related to either subject would be of interest.

The tune "The King's Going To Boulogne" is specified as the tune for a couple of broadsides (Captain Ward among them), but I can't see an actual song anywhere at a quick look.

Thanks Mick, you may have saved my lad from madness - he was sure he'd met the name somewhere, but couldn't find it again. A while ago he was researching into Captain Ward, so that probably accounts for it.
