Henry VIII had six wives but only one gave him a son. Jane Seymour fulfilled her most important duty as queen, but she was never crowned and died just twelve days after the long and arduous birth. She was Henry's third wife and seems never to have made much of an impression upon anyone except the king. Her meek and circumspect manner was in distinct contrast to Henry's second wife, the sharp-tongued Anne Boleyn. Jane had served as lady-in-waiting to Anne and she supplanted her in much the same way Anne had replaced Katharine of Aragon in Henry's affections. We will never know if Jane sought the king's favor or was a frightened pawn of her family and the king's desire. But we do know that she bravely sought pardons for those involved in the Pilgrimage of Grace revolt in 1536. Rebuked by the king, and mindful of the fates of his first two wives, she retired into a quiet and decorous role. The triumphant birth of her son Edward allowed her two ambitious brothers into the king's inner circle; however, both would be executed during Edward's reign.

Jane married Henry VIII Tudor King of England [13222] [MRIN: 6190], son of Henry VII Tudor King of England [2134] [9CND-QGL] and Elizabeth of York Plantagenet Queen of England [3105] [9HHT-713], on 20 May 1536 in York Place, England. (Henry VIII Tudor King of England [13222] was born on 28 Jun 1491 in Greenwich Palace, Kent, England, died on 28 Jan 1547 in Whitehall Palace, London, England and was buried in St.George's Chapel, Windor Castle, Windsor, Berkshire, England.)
