The question people usually ask is whether Henry VIII loved Anne Boleyn or Jane Seymour, as these seem to be the two queens who provoked the most passion and interest.

No doubt Henry VIII (1491 to 1547) thought of second wife Anne Boleyn (c1501-07 to 1536) as his favourite at a time when their love was still intact. There are some surviving love letters from Henry to Anne, showing his passion for her. However, when that all ended in tragedy and Anne was executed, Henry was already on the verge of marrying another queen. That Queen was Jane Seymour (c1504-09 to 1537) his third wife, whom Henry was betrothed to the day after Anne was executed. Jane was the only wife to give Henry a legitimate male heir, which he so desperately wanted. Sadly, she died within days of giving birth to Edward, later Edward VI (1537 to 1553). But, just before he died, Henry asked to be interred next to Jane Seymour in St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, England - which is where they are to this day. I suppose you might say that in the end, Jane was his favourite and most loved wife after all.

Was Henry and Jane Seymour happy married?

She gave him what he wanted (a son) and died before he could fall out of the idea of being in love with her. He is buried next to her. I suspect that being married to Henry was quite frightening on a day to day basis- I don't think what she thought really came into it!


What wife did Henry VIII really love?

We can probably never know, who he really loved. My guess is that he truly loved his third wife, Jane Seymour. He wasn't married to Jane for long, only a year or so, so he didn't grow tired of her or anything like that. She was the one queen, who managed to give him a son, and Henry was, after his own request, burried next to her. Henry is also said to always have considered her "his true queen and wife"... so, that's my answer :) Hope I could be of some service.
