Biography of Jane Seymour
Jane Seymour was the third wife of King Henry VIII of England and the mother of Edward VI, Henry's only son. She is often referred to as "Plain Jane" and is the wife of Henry VIII we know the least about.
Queen of England for just seventeen months, Jane witnessed some of the most extraordinary events in English history, later becoming part of them. She secured her place in Henry's affections by giving him a long-desired male heir but tragically lost her life twelve days after childbirth, leaving behind a motherless son and a devastated husband.
Henry would honor Jane as the mother of his only legitimate son and came to regard her as his "true and loving wife." Throughout her life, Jane was neither saint nor sinner but a human being with her own beliefs and causes.
