On 12 Oct 1537, Jane Seymour gave Henry VIII his longed-for son, but within 12 days, the queen was dead.
Was it childbed fever, food poisoning, or something else entirely?
I look at what really killed her...

A few verses from an anonymous 17th Century ballad about the fate of Lady Jane Grey.
From the Golden Garland of Princely Pleasures, 1620
Eleanor Cramer: soprano
Richard De Winter: tenor
Tamsin Lewis: alto
A lamentable Ditty on the death of the Lord Guilford Dudley, and the Lady Iane Gray, that for their parents ambition, in seeking to make these two yong Princes King and Queene of England, were both beheaded in the Tower of London.
To the tune of, Peter and Parnell.

BLANCHE HERBERT, LADY TROY (previously BLANCHE MILBO(U)RNE, BLANCHE WHITNEY) (died c. 1557), Lady Mistress of Elizabeth I, Edward VI and Queen Mary

'She was in charge of the upbringing of Elizabeth I, Edward VI and also of Queen Mary when she lived with the younger Tudor children. Therefore she was the Lady Mistress for Elizabeth and Edward, the title accorded to the lady who controlled the household. Her funeral elegy, composed by Lewys Morgannwg, includes the lines: Arglwyddes breninesau, / Gofrner oedd ban oedd yn iau [(She was a) Lady (in charge) of Queens, A governess she was in her youth].' -- Ruth Elizabeth Richardson

I’m going to try and avoid politics, because this seems a nice place and I can get very angry,and sad, about the state we are in. Here I’m planning to (try) to be civilised!
