Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XII THE LINE OF THE LATER DUKES We must return now to the main line of the Dukes of Somerset. Edward, the eldest son of Sir Edward Seymour, fifth baronet of Berry Pomeroy, son of the Speaker, by his first wife, Margaret Wale, took but small part in public affairs, serving only once in Parliament as member for Salisbury in 1741. In the next year his wife, Mary, daughter of Daniel Webb of Monkton Farley, died, and he retired. Some suggestion seems to have been made that he should marry the Duke of Somerset's (Algernon, seventh duke) eldest daughter, since by Lord Beauehamp's death the title must revert to him, but the idea came to nothing. The death of the seventh duke came sooner than was expected. In February 1749-50, when Sir Edward, who was on his road to London, was playing chess in a country inn, the host brought him news of the duke's death, and congratulated him on his accession to the title. Sir Edward said nothing, but continued his game of chess. Riding to London the next day, he happened to meet Lord Holland, who greeted him through the carriage window, and persuaded him to hasten to town and make his claim at once. This he did, but not without difficulties. In April 1750, Walpole wrote to Sir Horace Mann that the title was disputed, 'my Lord Chancellor has refused him (Sir Edward) the writ, but referred his case to the Attorney-General (Sir Dudley Ryder), the present great opinion of England, who, they say, is clear for Sir Edward's succession.' Even by the following August the settlement had not been made, for Walpole wrote that Sir Edward had not yet got his dukedom, 'as there is started up a Dr. Seymour who claims it, but will be able to make nothing out of it.' This was only one of many intrigues, but, as was...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“A sumptuous historical novel anchored by its excellent depiction of Jane Seymour, Henry the VIII’s third queen . . . This is a must for all fans of Tudor fiction and history.”—Publishers Weekly Ever since she was a child, Jane has longed for a cloistered life as a nun. But her large noble family has other plans, and as an adult, Jane is invited to the King’s court to serve as lady-in-waiting to Queen Katherine of Aragon. The devout Katherine shows kindness to all her ladies, almost like a second mother, which makes rumors of Henry’s lustful pursuit of Anne Boleyn—also lady-in-waiting to the queen—all the more shocking. For Jane, the betrayal triggers memories of a haunting incident that shaped her beliefs about marriage. But once Henry disavows Katherine and secures Anne as his new queen—forever altering the religious landscape of England—he turns his eye to another: Jane herself. Urged to return the King’s affection and earn favor for her family, Jane is drawn into a dangerous political game that pits her conscience against her desires. Can Jane be the one to give the King his long-sought-after son, or will she be cast aside like the women who came before her? Bringing new insight to this compelling story, Alison Weir marries meticulous research with gripping historical fiction to re-create the dramas and intrigues of the most renowned court in English history. At its center is a loving and compassionate woman who captures the heart of a king, and whose life will hang in the balance for it. Praise for Jane Seymour, The Haunted Queen “Bestselling [Alison] Weir’s impressive novel shows why Jane deserves renewed attention [and] illustrates Jane’s unlikely journey from country knight’s daughter to queen of England. . . . From the richly appointed decor to the religious tenor of the time, the historical ambience is first-rate.”—Booklist (starred review) “Deft, authoritative biographical fiction . . . a dramatic and empathic portrait of Jane Seymour.”—Kirkus Reviews
