Jane Seymour (The Tudors) - Queen consort of England from 1536 to 1537 - Henry VIII's wife

It was Lady Zouche, a past lady in waiting to /her/...now in my service.

There are few pastimes more humble for a lady of rank than needlework.

It warms a mother's heart knowing that she has a goodly and intelligent son to succeed his father to the throne. Edward Tudor #proudmomma

@8TudorKing *does the sign of the cross* I hope not, although charming, I fear the Duke maybe a bad influence on the King.

I am getting quite used to my role as Queen. The power is intoxicating, but I must remember to obey and serve in all things.

Saw the physician today and I'm still not with child. I may have to go on a Pilgrimage...

Its a constant struggle to prevent ones ladies in waiting from falling prey to the vices of court.

Met with Master Holbein today for my first sitting. I am eager to see how the portrait will turn out...

I am starting to think I shall never have a coronation...But such displays of grandeur mean very little to me.

Your Majesty, may I present this night cap to you... made from my own hand . *curtsies* @8TudorKing

Although I do not agree with his Majesty's punishment towards the rebels in the north, he is the King and I must accept his decision.

Master Holbein's drawing is quite exquisite. The King agrees and remarks that I have fine blue eyes.

*nods and smiles* Yes, mayhaps it is a special craving. I shall have to consult with Dr Butts...

// i'm fuming some people are so entitled nowadays that they think the need for basic politeness and regard to others don't apply to them

My portrait by Master Holbein is complete. I hope his Majesty is pleased with his work, and with the subject. *smiles*
