Jane Seymour's Death - What killed her? - The Anne Boleyn Files
On 12th October 1537, when Jane Seymour gave birth to Henry VIII's long-awaited son, England rejoiced. Bells rang and bonfires blazed. Sadly, just twelve days later, that joy turned to sorrow when the queen died. But what did Jane Seymour died of? For centuries, her death has been shrouded in confusion and myth, with some claiming that she'd even been given a c-section, others that it was childbed fever that finished her off. More recently, Alison Weir has put forward the idea that her death could have been down to food poisoning and an embolism. In my latest video, I take a closer look at the evidence, exploring contemporary accounts, Tudor medicine, and modern medical insight, to uncover what really killed Henry VIII's third wife.
