Jane Seymour was the only one of Henry VIII’s wives to be buried as Queen, and to give him a living son.

Hi There!

My name is Kate, I’m the producer of “The King’s Whore: The Anne Boleyn Story,” an original play about Anne Boleyn’s life and death coming to NYC in July.

We are currently running a fundraiser to get the last of the money we need to bring this fabulous production to life, and we have $10k to raise by June 1st: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-fund-the-world-premiere-of-the-king-s-whore-the-anne-boleyn-story/x/1409604

Would you consider posting about it so that Anne Boleyn fans everywhere can help us get this production off the ground? We would be happy to give you free tickets to the show in exchange.

Thank you so much for the consideration!

Kate

Catherine of Aragon died during Henry’s reign, and she was not beheaded. Only two of his six wives were.

Bet you didn’t know that Katherine Parr’s paternal aunt, Katherine Vaux was Lady Throckmorton as wife to the outspoken Sir George. Sir George was also a cousin by Parr’s maternal side. It’s interesting how her cousins were actually divided when it came to religion. Some remained Catholic while some converted to the Protestant Church. Most of those who converted came to court under Parr and served her and other family members, i.e., Sir Nicholas Throckmorton.

Very sad that she left her son motherless.

Lexa… Research has shown that in western countries there is no evidence to support that giving birth at home is more dangerous than giving birth in hospital. As for forcing a mother to do something against her will, i.e making her deliver in a hospital,rather than at home, would be removing her right to choice.

I did a brief study on the women in one family spanning the late Tudor/early Stuarts.

Interestingly there were no deaths in childbirth, although one of a pregnant woman, although of course this isn’t really surprising as although birth fatality rates were shocking by modern standards (I can’t remember the estimated number I read, but it was mid single figure percentages over a woman’s life) my sample was quite small.
