Jane Seymour is dutiful, plain and, even at her young age, suspects that her life will be spent as a spinster sister. In fact, it seems almost inconceivable that she ever leave the comfortable confines of Wolf Hall, where she has her world of loving parents, servants, younger sisters, and brother. Her sister-in-law, Katherine chooses Jane as her confidante, but after two years Edward makes a dreadful allegation against his wife. When Jane is sent away to serve Catherine of Aragon, she is forced to watch another wife being put aside, with terrible consequences.
