Sir John Seymour as played by Stephen Brennan
| | |
| born c.1474 - died December 21, 1536 Character's backstory: The father of Jane Seymour Gentility: Descended from Baron Stourton and William Marshal, the 1st Earl of Pembroke Position: Knight Banneret Personality type:callous, senile, protective Signature look: Endearing trait(s): Annoying trait(s): Infamous affair with his son Edward's wife, causing her to be thrown in a convent and her children to be declared illegitimate. Also accused of taking part in the plot to bring down Anne Boleyn. Towards the last of his days, John Seymour was believed to have entered a state of Madness, growing senile in his old age. Jane Seymour and her brothers were believed to have returned to Wolf Hall to nurse him as he was very cantankerous. His death did not come as shock to the family. When Jane apparently asked her father for approval to marry the king, John was said to be in a less than lucid state and could not comprehend the manner of the question asked. |  |
CHARACTER CONNECTIONSFamily members: Margaret Wentworth: Wife (famous beauty of her time) Jane Seymour: Daughter Elizabeth Seymour Cromwell: Daughter (and Thomas Cromwell's daughter-in-law) Edward Seymour: Son Thomas Seymour: Son John Seymour : Son Henry Seymour: Son Dorothy Seymour: Daughter Anthony Seymour: Daughter Margery Seymour: Daughter Prince Edward Tudor: Grandson Romance(s): Catherine Fillol, wife of his son Edward Seymour Friends: Enemies: | Scandals: John embarked on a love affair with his new daughter-in-law, Catharine Fillol (married to his son Edward). When it was discovered, the marriage was annulled, their children declared bastards (since their legal grandfather might be their biological father!) and Catharine was imprisoned in a local convent. The scandal damaged the Seymour family's reputation for many years afterward. Ironically, a proposed marriage between Jane Seymour and William Dormer was rejected by the Dormers partially due to the scandal and because of the family's less-than-noble pedigree: the Seymour family was of the gentry. When he died, his royal daughter, Jane Seymour did not attend the funeral due to a royal commitment. None of his children seem to have been greatly affected by his death.
