Mary Seymour
Mary Seymour (30 August 1548 – ) was the only daughter of Thomas Seymour, 1st Baron Seymour of Sudeley (brother of Jane Seymour, third wife of Henry VIII), and the dowager queen, Catherine Parr, widow of Henry VIII. Although Catherine was married four times, Mary was her only child, born at her father's country seat, Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire. Complications from Mary's birth would claim the life of her mother on 5 September 1548, and her father was executed less than a year later for treason against her cousin Edward VI. In 1549, the Parliament of England passed an act ( 3 & 4 Edw. 6. c. 14) removing the attainder placed on her father from Mary, but retaining Thomas' lands as property of the Crown.

After her second birthday in 1550, Mary disap ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
