Do you think I can fit 6 Queen Anne dining chairs comfortably with a 54" diameter round glass top dining room table?
Answer
You typically want 24" per place setting. The circumference of a 54" table is 54*pi, that allows for 7 @ 24" setting, so six will generally be fine, depending upon as other poster said, legs and arms interfering with each other. It should be simple enough to mock this up.

Jane Seymour (Third Wife of Henry VIII)?

Tell me more about Jane Seymour, the third wife of Henry VIII, not the actress. This is not for a class or school, for I am not in school anymore, this is for my own pleasure. What do we know of her life before Henry VIII noticed her? What do we know of her life as Henry VIII's consort?
Answer
Jane Seymour was born in around 1509, the fifth child and oldest daughter of Sir John Seymourof Wolf Hall, in Wiltshire. She seems to have become a lady in waiting to Queen Katherine of Aragon, whom she greatly admired, in around 1529. She remained in Katherine's service until the Queen was exiled from court two years later. Then Jane was transferred to the service of Katherine's successor and arch-enemy, Anne Boleyn. Jane was included in the list of Anne's ladies who received a gift from the King at Christmas 1533. Apparently she first caught Henry'ss eye some time late in 1534, by which time Henry was beginning to tire of Anne.
it seems to have surprised commentators at the time that Henry was attracted to Jane, Eustace Chapuys (the imperial ambassador) described her as being 'of middle stature and no great beauty. Her complexion is so fair one would rather call her pale'. However, Polydor Vergil refered to her as 'a woman of the utmost charm', and perhaps it was this quality that attracted the King. She was also the complete opposite of Anne Boleyn - quiet demure, subservient and discreet, characteristics the King had come to appreciate in a woman. The King confided to Chapuys that she had a gentle nature and was 'inclined to peace' . Thomas Cromwell described her as 'the mosst virtuous lady and veriest gentlewoman that liveth.'
On 20 May 1536, the day after Anne Boleyn's execution, jane Seymour was brought by barge to Hampton Court, where she and the King were formally bethrothed. Soon afterwards henry took her to York Place, which in 1536 was officially renamed the Palace of Westminster,but was known from the late 1530s as Whitehall Palace. Henry and Jane were quietly married by Bishop Gardiner in the Queen's closet at Whitehall on 30 May. Later that day, Jane was 'set in the Queen's seat under a canopy of estate royal.'
On 2 June 1536, Jane dined in public with the King for the first time, and her servants all took the oath of allegiance. Later that day the court moved to Greenwich, where two days later, at Whitsuntide, Jane was proclaimed Queen 'and went in procession, after the King, with a great train of ladies following her, and also offered at mass as Queen dining in her chamber of presence under the cloth of estate.'
As Queen, jane proved herself to be entirely subservient to the King's will; Chapuys found that she was not to be drawn into discussions about religion or politics. She was compassionate and pious, but made a point of distancing herself from her inferiors, and thus appeared 'proud and haughty.' Because sshe wass only a knight's daughter, and lacked Anne Boleyn's confidence, she seems to have felt it necessary to emphasise her new status, and was consequently strict with regard to protocol and etiquette.
Meanwhile, throughout the royal palaces, an army of craftsmen had been hastily replacing Anne Boleyn's initials, mottoes and badges with Jane's. Jane's badge was her family emblem of a phoenix rising from a flaming castle, and her heraldic beast was the panther. The motto she had dutifully chosen was 'bound to obey and serve'.
Jane was determined to enforce high moral standards in her household. she laid down strict rules governing not only the behaviour but also the dress of her attendants, her laides were to be sumptuously but modestly attired and had to wear trains three yards long and girdles set with a regulation number of pearls. Although Jane herself dresssed magnificently, she left little mark upon fashion except to popularise nightgowns and caps edged with gold and silver embroidery.
Jane Seymour enjoyed simple pleasures. The royal accounts testify to her love of gardens. She was an expert needlewoman, whose work was on display in the royal palaces more than a century after her death. She also liked field sports, and followed the hunt whenever she could.
Jane brought about a reconciliation between Henry and his daughter Mary, from whom he had been estranged since she took her mother's side in their divorce dispute. The royal couple visited Mary, and soon they were sending her presents, and she was invited to court. Jane was a devout Catholic and had admired Mary's mother very much, so this was a bond between them.
Jane gave birth to the son henry had longed for so much on 12 October 1537, but sadly died of the dreaded childbed fever on october 24.
