Ref/NP825
While serving as lady-in-waiting to both Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour (1509-1537) attracted the attention of Henry VIII. She refused any proposal from the King except marriage, a factor leading to the
trial of Anne. Two weeks after Anne Boleyn was beheaded, Jane Seymour became the third wife of Henry VIII, and the only one to bear him a male heir. She died shortly after Edward was born, and is the only wife to be buried at Henry' s
side.
Designed by Michael Abberley, Jane is dressed in black and gold. The handle is formed of a mandolin.
