Henry married her in 1536, shortly after the execution of Anne Boleyn, and she died the following year, twelve days after giving birth to Henry's son and heir, the future Edward VI. As Henry wished, he was buried with Jane at Windsor Castle, the location of Holbein's sketch for the original painting.
