For centuries, Jane Seymour has been remembered as Henry VIII's quiet, obedient third wife -the queen who gave him his long-awaited son before dying tragically in childbirth. But was there far more to her story?

In this episode, I'm joined by historian Elizabeth Norton to discuss her new book, Jane Seymour: Patronage, Material Culture and Image Crafting. Drawing on years of archival research, Elizabeth reveals a Jane who was far more politically active and influential than her reputation suggests. We explore the myths that have shaped Jane's legacy, her role at court, the power she exercised through patronage and intercession, and what her household, possessions, and estates reveal about the woman behind the crown.

If you think you know Jane Seymour, this conversation may change your mind.
