  Jane Seymour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jane Seymour was the daughter of Sir John Seymour of Wiltshire and Margaret Wentworth.
Politically, Jane was a conservative, but her only intervention into the realm of government in 1536 ended when the king brutally told her to remember the last queen, who had lost her head because she meddled in politics.
Jane was played by Charlotte Roach in Dr. David Starkey's documentary series on Henry's queens in 2001 and by Naomi Benson in the BBC television drama "The Other Boleyn Girl," opposite Jared Harris as Henry VIII and Jodhi May as Anne Boleyn.

Jane maintained her ground triumphantly; one of the king's love-letters to his new favourite seems to have been written while the fallen queen was waiting, her doom in prison.
