Jane Seymour and Henry VIII were married for just over a year. They wed on May 30, 1536, and Jane passed away on October 24, 1537, shortly after giving birth to their son, Edward VI. Their marriage, although brief, was significant as she was the only one of Henry's wives to give him a male heir.

Jane Seymour was important because she was the only one of Henry VIII's six wives to give birth to a 'surviving' son.

Historians do not know Jane Seymour's birthdate, but suggest it is anywhere between 1504 - 1509. She was the second wife of Henry VIII, they married in 1536 and she gave birth to their son, Edward (later Edward VI) in 1537, but Jane died shortly afterwards. When Henry VIII died, he asked to be laid to rest next to Jane Seymour in the chapel at Windsor Castle. She was the only one of his six wives to give him the thing he most wanted - a male heir.
yes she was. all the others either gave henry a female heir or no children at all. sadly jane seymour died after having prince edward the only male heir of henry. :)
No his first three wives did; Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour.
Before he died, Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) asked to be interred with his third wife, Jane Seymour (c1504-09 - 1537). Jane had been the only wife to give Henry the legitimate male heir he so desperately wanted, and this son, Edward VI, succeeded Henry after his death. Jane had died only days after giving birth to Edward and Henry had apparently been devastated. Henry VIII and Jane Seymour are buried together in St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle in England.
Anne Boleyn was the 2nd wife of Henry VIII. Henry was hoping that Anne would give him a son, but she gave him a daughter, Elizabeth I. He fancied Jane Seymour, and heard from his old friend that Anne Boleyn was unfaithful. So she was taken to the trial, and was found GUILTY. So she was executed. Later, Henry married Jane Seymour, and Jane Seymour gave Henry a SON! Edward VI. But Jane fell sick after giving birth and died.
Jane Seymour was Henry's third and the only wife to give him a legitimate son! he describes her as his true only wife! She died 9 days after giving birth to Edward VI! She was a devout and pious Catholic and was against Henry's beliefs on the desecration of the monastries around the country. She was also very close to Mary, Henry's first child, and at one stage had asked Henry to renconise the legitimacy of Mary!

She gave birth to him in 1537. She died of complications from that birth 12 days later. The exact nature of the complications are not clear to historians.
