Jane Seymour – The Underestimated Tudor Queen
Wednesday, 21 October, 2026
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. Turn on video on Spotify, or watch this episode on YouTube to see Tracy and Beth in the amazing Tudor Great Hall at Hampton Court Palace. Learn more about the Tudor queens on our website.
