Episode Jane Seymour – The Underestimated Tudor Queen

0:00 57:08

Jane Seymour is often remembered as 'Plain Jane', distinguished only by her death in the famous rhyme, 'Divorced, beheaded, died...'

But Jane was more than a puppet of powerful men; during her short time as Queen, she made the role her own. In some ways, she was the most successful of all Henry VIII's six queens.

In this episode, Tracy Borman is joined by Elizabeth Norton, who reveals a new side to this misunderstood Tudor woman. Together, they discover the real Jane behind the myths.
