Round 6: 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 (10[1])of this family. (-5[1])Another member of this family scandalously married the widowed queen Catherine Parr. (10[1])A woman (-5[1])from this family (10[2])was (-5[1])the mother (-5[1])of a ruler (-5[1])whose reign saw Robert Kett’s anti-enclosure revolt in Norfolk. That member of this family (-5[1])was depicted meeting her future husband at this family’s seat of Wulfhall in a novel by (10[1])Hilary Mantel. A queen from this family died shortly after the birth (10[1])of the future Edward VI and got engaged a day after the execution of her predecessor, Anne Boleyn. For 10 points, name this family of Henry VIII’s third wife, Jane. (10[3])■END■ (10[3])
