Very well done *SPOILERS*
And Tom and Elizabeth were a cute couple. :( Too bad he died. I was really sad.

In real life, Seymour was sort of a nasty guy who tried to use women to get ahead in life. In addition to his marriage to Catherine Parr, he also proposed to the Lady Mary (Elizabeth's half-sister), Elizabeth who was 14 at the time, and Lady Anne of Cleves (Henry VIII's discarded wife). In the end he was arrested while trying to force entry into King Edward's apartments in order to try and persuade the king forcibly to marry the Lady Jane Grey. He shot Edward's dog into the bargain. I think Elizabeth summed it up best when she said (of his death) "Today died a man of much wit and very little judgement" (or something to that effect.)
shareARE YOU SERIOUS?
Well, that certainly alters my opinion of him. Whatever, the MOVIE was good then.
Thanks for the info, by the way!

The Lord Admiral, Baron Thomas Seymour was a rogue, but there was much more to him than his faults (very ambitious and sometimes lacking in judgement). I feel that he has been quite villified by historians. There were many facets to the man.
He was a very good and loving husband to Katherine Parr for one, and I think that in the end he did love Young Elizabeth.
He was suave, handsome and among other things, a good naval officer and diplomat.
I wonder often how his life would have proceeded if he had not been caught trying to kidnap the king, a supremely stupid move (he was always trying to best his brother Edward, The Protector), and been executed for his folly.
He and Katherine Parr had a daughter, Mary. No one really knows what became of her.
I've read that Mary was said to have died at a very young age.
