Actress Jane Seymour shares her name with one of the most famous women in British history—Jane Seymour, the third wife of King Henry VIII. The historical Jane Seymour, who lived in the 16th century, is best known for being the mother of Henry’s only legitimate male heir, King Edward VI. She was known as Henry’s favorite wife, largely because she gave birth to a son, but she tragically died shortly after childbirth. The modern Jane Seymour, born Joyce Penelope Wilhelmina Frankenberg, adopted the name as a stage name to showcase her British roots.
