Sir Thomas Seymour And Princess Elizabeth ("lamentation" By C.j.sansom)
In the history note at the conclusion of this (excellent) book, Sansom correctly says that after Henry VIII's death, Catherine Parr married Sir Thomas Seymour and Princess (later Queen) Elizabeth went to live with the couple.
He adds, almost as an aside, that when Catherine fell pregnant, Seymour sexually abused the 14 year old Princess.
Is there any evidence that this is the case?

It comes from a written report by Kat Ashley, the Princess's governess. I don't think that anyone disputes what she said, but of course no one can now prove the truth of it. http://www.e lizabethfile s.com/cather ine-parr-and -thomas-seym our-part-two /3660/

Edward Seymour, Lord Protector, was executed in 1552, after the Earl of Warwick, later Duke of Northumberland, took over affairs of state and Seymour was convicted of felony in plotting to bring down Warwick's regime. Northumberland did not last long; after the death of Edward VI he put his daughter in law Jane Grey on the throne. When the Privy Council had a change of heart and proclaimed Mary Tudor as queen, he lost his head.
