ccclxxviii. ). CHAPTER XI THE SUPPRESSION OF THE MONASTERIES On October 12, 1537, Queen Jane Seymour gave birth to a son at Hampton Court, who was christened on the following Monday, the 15 th, before a comparatively small company of nobles, on account of a prevailing epidemic. He Edward VI ^^^cived the name of Edward, having been born ' on St. Edward's Eve. His mother died on the 24th after much suffering. The result of these two events was, in the first place, to give Henry a son and heir of ...undoubted legitimacy, and, secondly, to set him free to negotiate or receive offers for a new matrimonial alliance, and thus to hold the balance between Francis and the emperor by inspiring each of them with jealousy of the other's advances. This policy he pursued, keeping himself free of matrimonial engagements for two years ; but the record of his dealings on either side does not concern Church history. What is of more importance is a renewed effort on the king's part to arrive at an understanding with the Lutherans of Germany, who, indeed, were now quite at one with him on the subject of the proposed general council, and who, if only their agreement could have extended to matters of doctrine, might have formed an enduring alliance with him against both pope and emperor.
