I wholeheartedly believe that Henry is buried with Jane because she gave him a son who survived, and then she died. No spare, but also no time to get tired of her. Had she lived, I think he would have stayed married to her because of Edward, and she was more likely to turn a blind eye to his extracurricular activities. Perhaps she would have given him a spare🤷🏻♀️ Had she NOT given him a son, he would have tossed her aside as well. She probably would have accepted an invitation to go to a convent, after what happened to her predecessors.
He would be raging at his tomb. Common people walking over him?? BLASPHEMY😂😂
