Jane Seymour is often remembered in a single sentence, the wife who gave Henry VIII a son and died soon after. But her story began far from the throne, in the green Wiltshire countryside at Wolf Hall.

This calm history for sleep follows Jane from the ambitious Seymour family and the quiet world of Tudor gentry life, through service at court, the fall of Anne Boleyn, her marriage to Henry VIII, and the birth of the future Edward VI. Along the way, we explore family ambition, royal politics, Tudor households, and the fragile life of a queen in sixteenth-century England.

Settle in for a slow, atmospheric journey into Tudor history, royal marriage, and the overlooked life of Jane Seymour.
