Her Final Year: Jane Seymour

A video slideshow of Jane Seymour's final year as depicted in 'The Tudors'
Historically, Jane was in labour for two days before finally giving birth to Edward VI. Jane was well enough to entertain guests and write letters in celebration for the birth of her son. However about 12 days after childbirth, shortly after Edward's christening, Jane fell gravely ill. Jane would die from a post-natal infection much to the grief of her husband, Henry VIII.
While England celebrated the birth of an heir, they also mourned their beloved Queen's death. Her husband took the death very hard, resorting to isolation, donning black clothing, and turning to food for comfort. When Henry died 10 years later, he was buried next to Jane, whom he considered his 'True Wife and Queen'.

It sucks that she died right after securing her life.

[AnaliaHyrule]

I know. I wish Henry had died instead of the Anne, Katharine, and Jane.

what a beautiful tragedy....thanx for posting this, jane seymore was my favorite queen..i wish she wouldve lived longer, but i somehow think that god thought she was waay too good for henry, so he took her. karma for all the innocent lives he took..idk.

After watching the execution of Anne - I started to hate Jane and Henry. Mostly Henry - because right after her execution the only fucking thing he could do was eating a pie formed as a swan. But I hate Jane - I don't know why, but I do.

-Anne is my all time favorite, and after her follows Anne of Cleves.

@MutatioAesa anne did the same thing to Katherine as jane did to anne, the women in that time didnt had a choice when there family says they have to do something they do it. anne wasnt a angel but she sure as hell wasnt a devil.. anne is my favorite queen because she was/is really facinating but dont judge jane, if anne would have been in janes position she would have done the same thing.. read the books about this time it will gave you a better look on the true story, this serie romanticized

@Asgardienne anne was absolutely not popular in engeland she was the most hated women of england, the witch that drove henry away from the 'true' queen Katherine.. everybody hated her, they only got sympathy for her when she was in the tower because they had the feeling that henry was trowing away another women again.. but i love anne boleyn, she is my favorite queen.. but i do like jane to..

Long live Queen Jane A True Queen

[falseelasheffect]

Actually, what people forget is Anne wasnt popular in England at this time, she was called a whore/witch and this was before her execution. Also, Anne was responsible for Thomas Mores death, a close friend of Henrys and Thomas Wolseys, who was like a father to Henry. So the people that say she did no wrong, and did alot for England, she did not, she gave birth to Elizabeth and that was that. Nobody knew then that she would be a great Queen, and that Edward would die young.

@DeirdreDiandra

I hardly think Henry respected Jane. He told her not to meddle in his affairs and told two sisters that he was sorry he was married... I dont think henry respected anyone

@kvietimas

I think that is quite unfair to say. Anne wasnt wealth hungry, afterall she wanted to marry Henry Percy, but after Henry made clear he wasnt going to give up, she made the best of it. As for being Angry ( at times) who could blame her? during her reign she was under enormous pressure. And to say she was selfish is ridiclious, she often gave elms to the poor and loved her daughter very much. As for jane, I have no respect for a woman who stepped to her throne in blood.

@Asgardienne

Actually, during her time Anne wasnt very popular.

@LNor19

I agree with you that jane wasnt cold norm to warm towards Elizabeth. I think it unlikely Jane would called Elizabeth a bastard, as She was quite close with Mary, and despite all the complications, Mary loved Elizabeth.
