As I stated in last week's video (   • Reading the Past: The Year in Review ...  ), I plan on having a video dedicated to each of King Henry VIII's in their own right. Today it's Queen Jane Seymour's turn... I think she was far more interesting than the compliant milksop that history often paints her as. I wonder if you will agree?

I hope you enjoy this video and find it interesting!
