- The_Death_of_Queen_Jane abstract "\"The Death of Queen Jane\" is an English ballad that describes the events surrounding the death of a Queen Jane. It is cataloged by Francis James Child as Child #170. Some of the versions given are Scottish, in which the queen's name is Jeanie or Jeany. Many now believe that the queen in question is Jane Seymour, the third wife of Henry VIII of England. However there is no evidence to support this assumption. Historically, Jane Seymour gave birth to a son who became Edward VI of England on October 12, 1537. The birth was difficult but natural. She died twelve days later from infection resulting from the birth. There are 20 versions of the song given by Child, but they are consistent in the basic tale. Queen Jane is in difficult labour - the time given ranges from three days to an astonishing six weeks - and asks a succession of people to cut open her sides and save her baby. Each refuses her in turn, understanding that this would cause her death. She asks for others to be sent to her - variously her mother, a surgeon or doctor, and King Henry - and of each she makes the same request. Finally someone - King Henry in most versions - succumbs to her pleas and the surgery is done, whereupon she dies. The song ends with descriptions of the mourning, and most versions contrast the joy of the birth of a male heir with the grief over the death of the queen.The relationship between Queen Jane and King Henry is described as a loving one in the ballad. In the versions in which he is sent for to hear her plea he is shown as first refusing:King Henry was sent for, and sat by her bedside:'Why weep you, Queen Jeany? your eyes are so red.''O Henry, O Henry, do this one thing for me,Let my side straight be opend, and save my babie!''O Jeany, O Jeany, this never will do,It will leese thy sweet life, and thy young babie too.'--Version 170COnly when she falls into a swoon - presumably interpreted that she was going to die anyway - are her instructions followed.She wept and she wailed, till she fell in a swoon:Her side it was opened, the babie was found.--Version 170CVersion 170D makes this explicit:The surgeon was sent for, he came with all speed,In a gown of black velvet from heel to the head;He gave her rich caudle, but the death-sleep slept she,Then her right side was opened, and the babe was set free.Many versions describe King Henry weeping, his grief for his wife overcoming his joy for his son. One version mentions Princess Elizabeth, who became Elizabeth I as the one who \"goes weeping away.\"".
