Jane Seymour's jointure included possessions of former lands in Essex, Surrey, and Middlesex, as well as those of Lord Hussey. Rumors spread by people unacquainted with her claimed that she opposed the dissolution of the monasteries [...] however, those that knew her [...] believed that she was willing to accept and dispose of possessions of dissolved monasteries.

#...so either her jointure was granted a year into marriage or added onto? bcus hussey wasn't executed until 1537#i don't agree that this totally precludes the veracity of those reports but...smth to think abt?#definitely another reason to be skeptical about jane being 'of princess mary's party' given hussey was very firmly of hers#and the theory that her alliances with members of it were really more incidental than anything else#should maybe be granted more credence than it generally is (thinking re: elizabeth norton's recent podcast interview...not very)#retha warnicke
