Notes
|
- Seymour was the 1st Duke of Somerset.
- When Edward
VI became king he was only 9 years old and Seymour was made
his first 'Protector'.
- Seymour's job was to advise the young
king because he was not old enough to make decisions himself.
- He also became Earl of Hertford when
Henry VIII married his sister Jane
Seymour.
- He was executed for treason in 1552.
- It is believed that the charge of treason
was a fake one that had been made up to get rid of him.
