The Tudors Dynasty Podcast.

Hello and welcome back to the Tudors Dynasty podcast.

I'm your host, Rebecca Larson.

And today I'm very pleased to welcome to the show for the very first time, Carol Ann Johnson.

Carol Ann, welcome.

Hi, Rebecca.

It's nice to finally see you and meet you.

Yes.

After all of these years on social media,

we've run across each other pretty much in the same Seymour circles. I would probably

Yes. So if you don't already know Carol Ann, she runs the Jane Seymour page. What's it

called exactly on Facebook? Jane Seymour, Henry the Eighth's third wife.

There we go. So if you love Jane Seymour, I highly recommend that you follow her there because she's

always sharing all kinds of fascinating information. But today I have Carolyn here to talk about her book,

Jane Seymour, an illustrated life. And of course, you guys know if you're listening to the show. I'm obsessed with Thomas Seymour and the Seymour family. But mostly my focus is on Thomas, not so much on Jane or his other siblings. So I love when I have the opportunity to welcome a guest on the show who has a focus on a topic such as Jane Seymour.

So I have to know, Caroline, what attracted you to Jane Seymour in the first place?

I've always been a big fan of the six wives of Henry the eighth.

They started very young in school. I remember thinking

in a lesson that six queens is pretty unusual, pretty cool. And then as I got older, obviously

delved into what that meant and learned obviously more the ups and the downs of being the wife of Henry the 8th.

But I always came back to Jane Seymour because she seemed to be overlooked.

If you googled or looked up books about her.
