Did Henry vII really love Jane seamour?
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.
When and why did Mary flee to England?
She first left Scotland in 1548 at the age of 5 spending 13 years in France to be raised by Henry II before she was due to be married to his son theDauphin Francois. She married the Dauphin in 1558 and after Henry II's death a year later Francois succeeded his father and she became Queen Consort of France. She returned to Scotland in 1561 after the death of her husband. After a second marriage to Lord Darnley his subsequent murder and a third to the Earl of Bothwell she was forced to abdicate in favour of her son. She left Scotland again in 1568 after the defeat of her army at the Battle of Langside by her sons Regent the Earl of Moray never to return. She fled to England landing at Workington and was immediately arrested and imprisoned in Carlisle Castle. A threat to the throne of England on which she had a claim, her part in Darnley's murder which was not proven (a peculiarly Scottish verdict in an English Conference!) and the Scottish Lords objection to her restoration meant she continued to be detained for many years, she was eventually tried and executed for treason in 1587.

William July, II (now Dr. William July) was one of the leading authors in an era of groundbreaking author-entrepreneurs during the period circa 1995-2002 when several originally self-published authors successfully parlayed their books into lucrative contracts with major publishers. July published four titles with Doubleday after initially self-publishing a national bestseller with no assistance and what he described as a "shoe string" budget. His popular books were non-fiction discussions on relationships as told by "the guy next door."
After his literary career July earned his doctorate (Ph.D.) in psychology and licensure as a psychologist. He has also been published as an academic author after writing a chapter for a textbook. Today he is a clinical psychologist and still writes, does speaking events, and television shows when his schedule permits.

Mary I died after a false pregnancy, and probably therefore of ovarian cancer.
Mary Tudor probably died of cancer.

The last person to hold the title "King of England" was King William III.
He reigned jointly with his wife, Queen Mary II from 13th February 1689 and, following the death of Queen Mary on 28th December 1694, reigned alone until his death on 8 March 1702. He held the titles "King of Scotland"(as William II of Scotland) and "King of Ireland" separately.
Under the reign of his successor, Queen Anne, in 1707 the crowns of England and Scotland were united, the title "King (or Queen) of England" ceased to exist and Queen Anne became Queen of The United Kingdom of Great Britain. She was still, separately Queen of Ireland.
In 1801, during the reign of King George III, the crowns of Great Britain and Ireland were united and he became King of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
In 1922 the southern part of Ireland was partitioned and became a separate, sovereign state which is now The Republic of Ireland.
The six Northern counties remained part of the United Kingdom and the the King, George V, became King of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The last King of The United Kingdom was George VI, and the current monarch is his daughter, Queen Elizabeth II.
She is not, and never has been, The Queen of England.

Why was Henry VIII on the throne?
Well he didn't exactly have a choice in the matter after 1502 when his older brother Arthur died because as the king's only surviving son Henry became heir apparent. So when his father Henry VII died he had to become king, but Henry probably did want to be king as well. There are many possible reasons as to why Henry would have wanted to become king. King's had a huge amount of power in the 16th century and with that relative independence so as a young man that would surely have been appealing to Henry. Essentially being king would give Henry the opportunity to do as he pleased, and in the early years of his reign he did, he could hunt, dance, play music and joust to his heart's content without anyone chastising him and with a band of counsellors eager to do his bidding. He was also an ambitious and egotistical man so being king would also have appealed to him as he was able to invade France on extensive campaigns, with the intent to recreate the great victories of previous kings like Henry V. So overall I supposed the prospect of kingship would have been appealing to Henry purely because of the freedom that came with it.
It was possible however to step down as king.
