an old portrait of a woman in black and white dress with a veil on her head

Jane Seymour (c. 1508 – 24 October 1537) was Queen of England from 1536 to 1537 as the third wife of King Henry VIII. She died of postnatal complications less than two weeks after the birth of her only child, a son who reigned as Edward VI.
