‘No painting ever boasted greater’: Holbein’s mural of Henry VIII, whose puffed-up poise next to his father Henry VII created the iconic image that defined Henry’s reign. On the other side of the monument, a demure Jane Seymour beside Henry’s mother Elizabeth is barely noticeable.

The image of royal supremacy: Henry through Holbein’s eyes.

The reality: by the time Edward was born, years of over-indulgence and persistent injury had left Henry prematurely aged, barely able to walk.

(left) Jane Seymour’s fierce loyalty to the Tudor regime and determination to provide Henry with a male heir more than made up for her plain looks.
