Round 5: 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 member of this family scandalously married the widowed queen Catherine Parr. A woman from this family was the mother (-5[1])of a ruler whose (-5[1])reign saw 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 Hilary Mantel. (-5[1])A queen from this family died shortly after the birth of the future Edward VI and got engaged a day after the execution of her predecessor, Anne Boleyn. For 10 points, (-5[1])name this family of Henry VIII’s third wife, (10[1])Jane. ■END■ (10[2]0[1])
