The Tudors: Jane Seymour's Death (The Love of Henry's Life)

Jane Seymour's death scene from Showtime's "The Tudors". Jane Seymour (1508 - 24 October 1537) was the third wife of King Henry VIII and she was Queen Consort of England (30 May 1536 - 24 October 1537). She died of childbed fever after giving birth to the future King Edward VI of England. She died on 24 October 1537 at Hampton Court. She was buried in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle after a funeral in which her stepdaughter, Lady Mary (later Queen Mary I), acted as chief mourner.
The following inscription was above her grave for a time:
Here lieth a Phoenix, by whose death
Another Phoenix life gave breath:
It is to be lamented much
The world at once ne'er knew two such.
After her death, Henry wore black for the next three months and did not remarry for three years, although marriage negotiations were tentatively started soon after her death. She was Henry's favorite wife because, historians have speculated, she gave birth to a male heir. When he died in 1547, Henry was buried beside her.

Jane was indeed the closest Henry had to a "love of his life". The ideal woman for him was his mother, Elizabeth of York - who was known to be submissive, gentle and kind. He wanted somebody just like her. Who of his wives does that sound like? Jane. Anne merely had the luck of catching his eye when Katherine hit menopause and therefore could not get pregnant again. He did what he did to pursue the dream of having a son, not to pursue a particular woman.

Definitely the most beautiful and intense scene of The Tudors....

I love this series.

I'm looking for a scene where Henry is in the room by himself and its dark, he is looking outside a window. and he is ranting (very animated) to himself about something...not quite sure. But the words were so eloquently put together. Does anyone know what i'm talking about? it might be season 3 surrounding jane's death...not quite sure. Please respond if you know what i'm talking about!!

oo please he could have cheated on her with mistresses after a few years when he got bored of her. this is why i dont like kings from back then they thought because they were royals they were obliged to stick their dick anywhere with no consequences

@lolee101 I'm so tired of all who says "only cause she gave him a son, blah, blah, blah". Jane was kind, she was gentle, sweet, honorable, noble. She was the one of the queens of Henry VIII who really deserved her title. Jane was a worthy queen and she kept her dignity until the end. She fighted death until her strength was gone. But eventually, the fever destroyed her and quietly, she slipped away. May she be remembered for years to come.

Lets stack it up, Catherine Henry's first wife was kind, gentle, and very popular not to mention her relations to the Spanish crown was politically beneficial to England. Anne was, well despite her supposed guilt, everyone hated her, well all Catholics did anyway, to no surprise. Anne of Cleves was sweet and kind but was unlucky to get caught in a political crossfire. Katherine Howard = Promiscuous Bubblehead and Katherine Parr seemed like a good wife and mother but almost lost her head too.

Its scenes like this that made this a great series, Jane was the only wife Henry truly loved, not just because she bore him a son but because she was kind, and gentle not to mention faithful as a wife. She was given a queen's funeral, Henry was buried next to her, there must of been more too their relationship then just Jane having a son.

@ChickensEatYou999 Did you not read the title?! This video is about Jane, not Anne. Go comment on a Anne video.

@TheSweden000 only cause she bore a son. if it was a girl or she miscarriage it would have been a differnt story
