Did Henry VIII Really Sacrifice Jane Seymour? The Truth Behind the Caesarean Myth

When Queen Jane Seymour gave birth to Prince Edward on 12th October 1537, and sadly died on 24th October. From celebrations to tragedy in just 12 days.

For centuries, a dark rumour has followed this story: that Henry VIII ordered surgeons to cut Jane open to deliver their son, sacrificing his queen for an heir.
It’s a tale that fits Henry’s reputation for ruthlessness perfectly… but did it ever happen?

In this episode, I dive into the real Tudor evidence — from Nicholas Sander’s anti-Henry propaganda to 17th-century historians and historic ballads — to uncover how this myth was born and why it still persists today.
We’ll look at what the contemporary sources actually say, how the story evolved, and why it just can't be true.
