Jane Seymour, the daughter of Sir John Seymour, was a quiet and less spirited lady than her immediate predecessor. Henry and Jane were married on May in 1536. On June 4, Jane was acknowledged as Henry's wife. On October 12, 1537, Prince Edward was born. Henry was ecstatic with the birth of his son, but his wife Jane never recovered from giving birth. On October 24, 1537, Jane died from complications of childbirth. Jane is the only one of Henry's wives to share his grave. After Jane's death, Henry did not remarry for more than two years.

Jane Seymour was the thirth wive of Henry VIII. However Jane actually felt, we will never know. Henry's feelings were pretty clear though. Within 24 hours of Anne Boleyn's execution, Jane Seymour and Henry VIII were formally betrothed. Unlike Henry's previous two Queens, Jane never had a coronation. Perhaps the King was waiting to Jane to 'prove' herself by giving him a son.

Questions about Shakespeare.

1. What was the name of the company Shakespeare belonged to ?
Lord Chamberlain's Men ( Later The King's Men )
2. How many companies were licensed to perform in London ?
Only 2.
3. Why did Shakespeare's company build the Globe ?
Shakespeare's company only built the Globe because they could not use the special playhouse that their chief actor Richard Burbage's father had built for them in 1596, a roofed theatre inside the city, in Blackfriars. James Burbage had a long history as a theatrical entrepreneur. In 1576 he built the first successful amphitheatre, known as The Theatre, in a London suburb. Twenty years later, when the lease on The Theatre's land was about to expire, he built the Blackfriars as its replacement. But the wealthy residents of Blackfriars got the government to block its use for plays, so his capital was locked up uselessly.
4. What did Shakespeare's company use to build the Globe ?
It was built by two brothers, Cuthbert and Richard Burbage, who inherited its predecessor, The Theatre, from their father, James
5. Who built the Globe ?
Half the shares in the new theatre were kept by the Burbages. The rest were assigned equally to Shakespeare and other members of the Chamberlain's Men (the company of players who acted there), of which Richard Burbage was principal actor and of which Shakespeare had been a leading member since late 1594. It was the lack of money to pay for it that produced the new consortium. The Burbage sons' inheritance was tied up in the Blackfriars, so extra finance was needed. That was why Shakespeare and another four of his fellows were made co-owners of the new Globe.
6. When the Globe was built , there were two other theatres in Southwark already. Which ones ?
The Swan and The Rose
7. When was it built ?
It was probably completed by the autumn of 1599
8. How and when was it destroyed ?
In 1613, during a performance of Henry VIII, the thatch of the Globe was accidentally set alight by a cannon, set off to mark the King's entrance onstage in a scene at Cardinal Wolsey's palace. The entire theatre was destroyed within the hour.
9. When was it rebuilt ?
By June 1614 it had been rebuilt, this time with a tiled gallery roof and a circular shape.
10. When was it finally pulled down ? Why ?
It was pulled down in 1644, two years after the Puritans closed all theatres, to make way for.
