Henry VIII married Jane Seymour in 1536, a few months after the execution of Anne Boleyn.
- Death of Jane Seymour: Jane died on October 12, 1537, shortly after giving birth to their son, who would become King Edward VI.
The official cause of death is believed to be childbed fever, a severe infection that can occur after childbirth.
It is important to note that medical practices in the 16th century were limited, and healthcare, especially for women during childbirth, was not as advanced as it is today.
Jane's death left Henry grief-stricken. Although he later married three more times, Jane remained a significant figure throughout his life, particularly because she was the mother of his only surviving son.
It is said that Henry expressed regret over her death and continued to wear mourning clothes for some time after her passing.
