Six Wives: Jane Seymour
Learning about Henry's most elusive queen
Six wives - six lives that we think we know everything about. But beyond their mostly doomed marriages to Henry VIII and, in most cases, tragic ends, here were six women who shaped history in their own unique ways.
In a special six part series, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb brings together the most illuminating interviews about the six wives from the Not Just the Tudors archive. She also explores some of the latest research and speaks to Dr. Charlotte Bolland - curator of the National Portrait Gallery鈥檚 exhibition Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII鈥檚 Queens - to paint an even fuller portrait of each of the six wives.
In this third episode, Suzannah looks into the life and legacy of Jane Seymour, perhaps the most elusive of Henry VIII鈥檚 Queens. In an attempt to understand Jane better, Suzannah is joined by Dr. Elizabeth Norton and Dr. Aidan Norrie.
Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb. The researcher is Alice Smith, audio editor is Ella Blaxill and the producer is Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.
