Lady Jane died on October 24th, 1537, shortly after giving birth to Prince Edward, later to acceeed to the throne as King Edward VI.

After Jane's death, Henry VIII treated the Seymour family favourably; Edward Seymour became Lord Protector during the regency of his nephew, Edward VI; Thomas Seymour became Lord High Admiral.
