Category:Monument to Edward Seymour, 1st Earl of Hertford, Salisbury Cathedral

Edward Seymour, 1st Earl of Hertford (1539-1621) was the eldest son of Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset (c.1500–1552) (by his second wife Anne Stanhope), eldest brother of Queen Jane Seymour, the third wife of King Henry VIII and uncle of King Edward VI. He married Lady Katherine Grey (1540-1568), a younger sister of Lady Jane Grey, the "Nine Days' Queen", and the second surviving daughter of Henry Grey, 1st Duke of Suffolk, by his marriage to Lady Frances Brandon, eldest daughter of Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk, by his wife Princess Mary, younger sister of King Henry VIII.

The couple were imprisoned in the Tower of London by Queen Elizabeth I who saw the Grey sisters as competition to her rule. She was later released on house arrest in a series of country houses. Queen Elizabeth declared as illegitimate the childen of Lady Katherine Grey, born or conceived during her imprisonment in the Tower. Lady Katherine Grey died aged 28 (at Cockfield Hall where she had spent the last year of her life) while her husband Edward Seymour, 1st Earl of Hertford died aged 83, 53 years after her death. Following his death, their grandson had Katherine disinterred from her "obscure burial place" in Yoxford Church in Suffolk (the parish church of Cockfield Hall), and reburied in Salisbury Cathedral where he built this magnificent tomb in their honour. "It celebrates the lovers who had been separated by Queen Elizabeth I being re-united at last" (Leanda de Lisle, 2017). See lecture 1 Nov 2017 during the Ryedale Book Festival in St Mary's Priory Church, Malton, North Yorkshire, by Leanda de Lisle (author of "The Sisters Who Would be Queen; The Tragedy of Mary, Katherine & Lady Jane Grey").[1]
