An account of the execution for treason of Thomas Seymour
Compiled from contemporary documents by Alison Plowden
After the death of Henry VIII in January 1547 Edward Seymour, Earl of Hertford, became Protector of the Realm and guardian of the nine-year-old successor to the Throne, Edward VI. Hertford's younger brother, Thomas Seymour, dissatisfied with his office of Lord High Admiral and seeking further advancement, sought to overthrow his brother by plots which involved the young King Edward, his father's widow, Katharine Parr, and his half-sister Princess Elizabeth-later to become Queen of England. Charged with treason, Seymour was refused public trial, condemned by a Bill of Attainder, and executed in March, 1549.
