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 - Third wife of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547)Jane Seymour (b.1504-09) the third wife of Henry VIII, betrothed to Henry the day after Anne Boleyn's execution, and married on 30 May 1536, died on 24 October 1537, twelve days after giving birth (probably from puerperal fever) to Henry's only legitimate son, Edward, later Edward VI (1537 - 1553).

Edward, Henry VIII's only legitimate male heir, was born on 12 October 1537, to Jane Seymour, Henry's third wife. Unfortunately, Jane became ill with puerperal fever and died days later on 24 October 1537.
His third queen, Jane Seymour, gave birth to Edward who eventually became King Edward. He was Henry's only legitimate son. It is known that Henry also fathered a son by Bessie Blount but as this son was illegitimate he could not take his place in the line of succession. He was, however, given the title of Duke of Richmond (if memory serves me correctly). There may well have been other illegitimate sons.

Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII's marriage ended tragically when Anne was executed on May 19, 1536. She was charged with treason, adultery, and incest, although many historians believe these accusations were fabricated to allow Henry to remarry. Their marriage produced one daughter, Elizabeth, but Henry's desire for a male heir and his infatuation with Jane Seymour ultimately led to Anne's downfall. After her execution, Henry married Jane Seymour, hoping she would bear him a son.
The lovely Jane Seymour was Henry VIII's third consort and queen. She ruled briefly with him from 1536 until 1537. She gave birth to Henry's much longed for and only male heir, but unfortunately, died from complications arising from childbirth.

i think he loved Jane Seymour the most, she gave him the son and heir he had always wanted, and he was buried next to her.
No,he got married to get a male heir. He got one when he married Jane Seymour and after that he wanted another one.
