|

| 44 | of England<br> 12 October 1537</FONT> </b> </p>
|

| 45 | <p><FONT size=-1><b>Background<br></b>Jane was the mother of Henry VIII's longed-for heir,
|
---|
| 46 | Prince Edward.&nbsp; He was born on 12 October 1537, and this letter was
|
---|
| 47 | immediately sent to the Privy Council by the queen.&nbsp; Jane may not have
|
---|
| 48 | personally composed the letter; however, it was sent in her name and sealed
|
---|
| 49 | with her signet.&nbsp; Though she died of puerperal fever twelve days after
|
---|
| 50 | the birth, she was not immediately ill.&nbsp; In fact, the letter muses upon
|
---|
| 51 | the precariousness of the infant prince's health.&nbsp; This sentiment was
|
---|
| 52 | understandable enough in an age of high infant mortality.</FONT>

|
---|
| 56 | much as by the inestimable goodness and grace of Almighty God, we be
|
---|
| 57 | delivered and brought in childbed of a prince, conceived in most lawful
|
---|
| 58 | matrimony between my lord the king's majesty and us, doubting not but that
|
---|
| 59 | for the love and affection which you bear unto us and to the commonwealth of
|
---|
| 60 | this realm, the knowledge thereof should be joyous and glad tidings unto
|
---|
| 61 | you, we have thought good to certify you of the same.&nbsp; To the intent
|
---|
| 62 | you might not only render unto God condign thanks and prayers for so great a
|
---|
| 63 | benefit but also continually pray for the long continuance and preservation
|
---|
| 64 | of the same here in this life to the honor of God, joy and pleasure of my
|
---|
| 65 | lord the king and us, and the universal weal, quiet and tranquility of this
|
---|
| 66 | whole realm.&nbsp; Given under our signet at my lord's manor of Hampton
|
---|
| 67 | Court the 12th day of October. <BR>Jane the Quene.</p>
