Catharine Parr is believed to have died from Puerperal Sepsis (also called Childbed fever) after giving birth to her daughter Mary Seymour.

Puerperal fever is a common infection among birthing mothers; and can be fatal. With modern medicine it is easily treated; but in the 16th century there was no effective treatment for it.
