Thomas Seymour is as much a victim as Anne Boleyn. I know, that’s going to be a highly debated statement but it’s one I believe to be true.
When Anne Boleyn fell out of favor with the King it was those around him who found ways to make her guilty of charges that would rid Henry of his second wife to make room for his third, who, coincidentally was Jane Seymour.
This is exactly what happened to Thomas. While I agree he made some sketchy choices in his life he did not deserve death. Continue reading Testimony against Thomas Seymour: Kat Ashley →

Thank you so much for visiting this website whose focus is solely on the life and death of Sir Thomas Seymour, Baron Seymour of Sudeley.
My name is Rebecca and I am best known as the owner of TudorsDynasty.com but have decided in the last six months to put a bigger focus on Thomas Seymour and discovering who he was as a person. Was he really the villain that history has made him out to be?
Thomas is the topic of a book that I am currently working on. This is will be my first book. I’d like to say it will be historical fiction but I am unsure at this point if it will reach all the guidelines necessary to earn that genre. It will be filled with historical events and letters with a sprinkling of fiction to help carry the story along.
During my research I feel like I have discovered what I believe to be the true Thomas Seymour and I cannot wait to share him with all of you.
Thank you so much for dropping by and don’t forget to follow the blog so you do not miss out on new posts!
