Round 4: Tossup 2

A revolt against a regency headed by a member of this family began when the villagers of Sampford Courtenay objected to a new prayer book. “Fat quails” were sourced from Calais to satisfy the pregnancy cravings of a member of this family. Another (-5[1])member of this family scandalously married the widowed queen Catherine Parr. A woman (-5[1])from this family was the mother of a ruler whose reign saw (-5[1])Robert Kett’s anti-enclosure revolt in Norfolk. That member of this family was depicted meeting her future husband at this family’s seat of Wulfhall in a novel by (-5[1])Hilary Mantel. (-5[1])A queen from this family (-5[1])died (10[1]-5[1])shortly after the birth of the future Edward VI and got engaged a day after the execution (-5[1])of her predecessor, Anne Boleyn. For 10 points, name this family of Henry VIII’s (10[1])third wife, Jane. (10[1])■END■ (10[4]0[2])
