Lady Catherine Grey, Countess Hertford, b. Aug 1540, Dorset House, Westminster d. 26 Jan 1567, Cockfield Hall, Yoxford, Suffolk (Age 26 years) |
| Marriage |
Bef 25 Dec 1560 |
Hertford House, Cannon Row, Westminster |
- In 1560 he secretly married Lady Catherine Grey, second daughter of Henry Grey, duke of Suffolk, and sister of Lady Jane Grey . On her sister's death (1554), Catherine had come to stand next in succession to the throne after Queen Elizabeth according to the will of Henry VIII. On this account both parties to the marriage incurred the displeasure of Queen Elizabeth when the secret was exposed; they were imprisoned in the Tower of London in 1561 and were not released until 1563, after Hertford paid a heavy fine; even thereafter they remained in private custody. The death of Catherine in 1568 somewhat relieved the royal displeasure, but Hertford in his remaining years lived as quietly as possible.
Elizabeth I denied the fact of their marriage, together with the legitimacy of their two sons. The elder son, Edward Seymour (1561-1612), styled Lord Beauchamp notwithstanding the question of his legitimacy, was ignored as an heir when Elizabeth was on her deathbed; she chose the King of Scotland, who became James I of Great Britain.
