Many believe he loved Jane Seymour above all. She was the only one who gave him a male heir, the only one to receive a queen’s funeral. He chose to be buried alongside her. But he was not married to her long enough to tire of her, as he obviously tired of several others.

It’s indisputable that he had an intense love for Ann Boleyn, at least during their courtship and their early years of marriage. He led the country to turmoil in his quest to marry her.

Interesting, thanks. Honoring Jane as Queen would also help legitimize Edward. Such things were not at all set in stone, Mary actually raised an army and almost had to use it to claim the throne, even though Edward specifically passed his position to Lady Jane Grey.
