My previous wife Anne knew that there was always something between me Jane and when she found out was furious, as she knew i was loosing interest as there was no son to be had and she was getting old. I often told Jane that I loved her more than my first two wives, therefore she wanted to give me a son, something I wanted so very much.

About a year later, a baby boy was born. We named him Prince Edward, and I was thrilled! I began celebrating at court immediately. However, Jane was too sick to celebrate with me. She had a fever. She had tremendous pains in my abdomen and felt cold and chilled throughout.
As much as she wanted to live, Jane could feel her strength slowly leaving her body. The best doctors came to examine her, but they all left with little hope for her recovery. During the 12 days after the birth of our son, I was at Janes bedside urging her to live. I whispered in her ear that I would do anything in my power to save her life. I held Jane's hand and with tears in my eyes told her how much i loved her.
On the 24th of October, 1537, she closed her eyes for the last time. Her death made me very depressed and i always said that i wanted myself to be buried next to hers! Jane was the wife i loved the most she pleased me and gave me everything i wanted! I told her i loved her and i ment it dearly... Im really sad that we were only married for around 16 months and i'd do anything to get her back!
