Which one of king henrys wives did he really love?

Answer 1

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 passionate 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 much loved wife after all.
