Vote for your favorite actor who's played each of these historical figures. You can suggest historical figures as long as they are dead and are not someone incredibly evil (eg serial killers, dictators, cult leaders) who's still within living memory. (Evil historical figures who have been dead for at least one hundred years, such as Vlad the Impaler, are fair game.) Please just use common sense. Again, any role you add MUST already be deceased.read more

Description of Jane Seymour (Queen Consort of Henry VIII):

Jane Seymour (c. 1508 – 24 October 1537) was Queen of England as the third wife of King Henry VIII from their marriage on 30 May 1536 until her death the next year. She became queen following the execution of Henry's second wife, Anne Boleyn, who was accused by King Henry VIII of adultery after failing to produce the male heir he so desperately desired. Jane, however, died of postnatal complications less than two weeks after the birth of her only child, the future King Edward VI. She was the only wife of Henry to receive a queen's funeral; and he was later buried alongside her remains in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
