Jane Seymour didn't live long enough for Henry to get further bored with her & to eventually dump her. Some historian said it was rumored that Henry was already becoming disillusioned with Jane until he discovered she was pregnant. After she gave him a son, suddenly she was perfect, could do no wrong, & Henry claimed an undying love for her. Henry Never "loved" Anybody in his life, including his dumb self. He loved the fact that he could use & abuse whomever he wanted whenever he wanted!
