Queen Jane Seymour died.
15371kloc-0/5 Jane Seymour, who attended the baptism of Prince Edward, was seriously ill. Her delivery lasted two days and three nights. It is rumored that the queen died by emergency caesarean section, because the king was afraid of stillbirth and ordered the baby to be forcibly taken out of her body, but this is not the case. Jane Seymour died of puerperal fever. The Queen died at Hampton Palace on 1537. Her stepdaughter mary tudor was a mourner at the funeral, and she was buried in St George's Church in Windsor Castle. Jane Seymour was the only one of Henry VIII's six wives who was buried as a queen.

Her tomb is engraved with the following inscription:

Here lies a phoenix, and its death (when a phoenix sleeps and dies here)

The life of another phoenix gives breath: (Another phoenix is reborn:)

This is more lame.

There have never been two such people in the world. I have never seen these two * * * born in this world.

The English nursery rhyme Death of Queen Jane (nursery rhyme number 170) describes the birth of Prince Edward and the death of Jane Seymour. Although the content of nursery rhymes (the prince was born by caesarean section, so the queen died at birth) does not conform to historical facts, it at least reflects the general views of the people on these two major events at that time. Most versions of this nursery rhyme end with a sharp contrast between celebrating the birth of the prince and mourning the death of the queen:

Version 170A:

The baby was baptized with joy and laughter.

Poor Queen Jane's body is lying cold in the ground: (Poor Queen Jane's cold body is lying in the mud:)

All day is full of bells, songs and sorrows, (a day full of bells, songs and sorrows,)

Princess Elizabeth left in tears. )

After Jane Seymour died, Henry VIII wore mourning clothes for three months. Although the discussion about the new queen began soon, he didn't get married again until three years later. Historians speculate that Jane Seymour became Henry's favorite wife, probably because she was the only one who gave birth to a male heir. 1547 When Henry VIII died, he was buried next to Jane Seymour's tomb.
