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 (-5[1])was the mother (-5[1])of a ruler whose reign saw Robert Kett’s anti-enclosure revolt in Norfolk. (-5[1])That member of this family was depicted meeting her future husband at this family’s seat of Wulfhall in a novel by Hilary Mantel. A queen from this family died shortly after the birth of the future Edward VI (10[1])and got engaged a day after the execution of her predecessor, Anne Boleyn. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, name this family of Henry VIII’s (-5[1])third wife, Jane. ■END■ (10[2]0[2])
