Edward Seymour (by Nicholas Hilliard)
Katherine Grey and her child Edward Seymour (after Levina Teerlinc)
In 1561, Edward Seymour (son of the King Edward VI's Lord Protector) and Katherine Grey (sister of the tragic Lady Jane, the 'Nine Days Queen') were locked up in the Tower of London for marrying behind Queen Elizabeth's back.
Their two sons, Edward and Thomas, were born in prison, and the marriage was annulled by the authorities.
Katherine was then separated from her husband, whom she never saw again. She died in 1568. Edward married two more times, and passed way in 1621.
