 Queen Jane Seymour
Historical Thread

Many historians have said that Jane was Henry's favorite wife. This is because he buried himself next to her, and she produced his much-desired male heir (to later become King Edward VI). She also was born of noble birth and was another Maid-in-Waiting to Anne Boleyn. Eleven days after he had executed Anne, he married Jane Seymour. She is depicted as being gentle, calm and quiet - quite the opposite to Anne. In 1537 at Hampton Court Jane gave birth to their son. Unfortunately, twelve days later, Jane died from the surgery at the child-birth. Henry's heart was broken and Jane was buried at Windsor Castle, later to be joined by Henry.
