I know that there are numerous Tudor threads bouncing around, but I don't think this question has been asked yet.

What if Anne Boleyn's second miscarriage had been carried to term. However, Anne dies in childbed giving birth to Prince Henry/Edward. Henry goes ahead with his marriage to Mistress Seymour (albeit at a slightly later date), who still gives birth to Prince Edward/Henry and likewise dies in childbed.

The men beheaded with Anne would still be alive. Thomas and George Boleyn would still have their offices.
How would the Seymours fit into a world where this had happened?
And would it lead to some serious duking it out between the Boleyns and the Seymours after Henry died for the Lord Protectorship?
Would Henry feel the need to marry again with an heir and a spare.
