Actually the order of wives goes like this. 1. Kathryn of Aragon, devoutly religious and mother of Princess Mary, later known as bloody Mary. 2. Anne Boelyn, protestant mother of Princess Elizabeth, later Queen Elizabeth the 1st, Anne beheaded on the false grounds of adultery, actually it was cause she could not give Henry a son. 3. Jane Seymour who finally did give Henry the son he wanted, Edward,who was always a sickly child died at the age of 16. Jane died shortly after. 4. Anne of Cleves a german princess who Henry found so repulsive the marriage was dissolved shortly 5b4after. 5. Catherine Howard who was a very young and wayward girl who took her liberties as Queen a little too lightly and was also charged with adultery, beheaded. 6. Catherine Parr, a divorcee married Henry in later years, a more mature woman who nursed Henry until his death. She married Thomas Seymour who had been in love with each other years before but were both married to other people at the time. Now they were free to marry. Had to correct your comment as it was all over the place and inaccurate. Studied a lot about the Tudors so there you go.

Catherine Howard was beheaded. Anne of Cleves was divorced after an arranged marriage because Henry VIII thought she was too ugly and that she had "bad smells around her person". She later on became friends with Henry VIII and with his children.

That's right, that poster got Catherine Howard and Anne of Cleves mixed up. He divorced Anne of Cleves because he agreed to marry her based on a very favourable portrait and when he met her he though she was ugly and smelled bad.

Hi Ya'll,
actually, yes Jane does state the reason why for the name change in her first book JANE SEYMOUR'S GUIDE TO ROMANTIC LIVING
Jane had registered the name "Joya Johns" for some time with Screen Actor's Guild {i think} it means John's Joy a name she put together to honour her father. Her agent was the person who suggested the name choice since its a familiar name
Hope This Helps

In her Biography special her sister's mentioned that The Six Wives Of Henry VIII was a big stage production going on at the time as well. Jane Seymour has a familiar sound to it and it caught people's attention. Very smart really. Also, Jane Seymour was Henry's favorite wife- wouldn't want to be named after the one they called a whore and beheaded! haha.

And had an english last name.
Any way was Catherine of Aragon Henry's favourite wife. All Isabella's daughters were excellent amazons.- Something that is usually forgotten is tht Cata commandad the English military forces and defeated the scots, James King of Scots died on the battle.-
As a result of the victory, unfortunately she miscarried a son.-
Any thougths
