Book Review: “The Path to Somerset” by Janet Wertman

June 13, 2018 by Rebecca Larson Leave a Comment

If you know anything about me at all you know I love all things Thomas Seymour. It's because of my love for Thomas that I tend to hold Edward Seymour in a bad light - he, after all, was at the helm when Thomas was executed. The Path to Somerset is the second book in the Seymour saga by Janet Wertman - her first book was on Jane Seymour, called Jane the Quene.

Thomas Seymour: Prisoner to Greed

October 22, 2016 by Rebecca Larson Leave a Comment

Thomas Seymour had a way with women - his charisma so great and his looks so good that even Katherine Parr couldn't help but fall for him. He was described as "...fierce in courage, courtly in fashion, in personage stately, in voice magnificent."  Yet with all those wonderful attributes he did not marry until he was nearly forty years old. In 1547, after the death of King Henry VIII, his son Edward succeeded him as King Edward VI of England. Young Edward's mother, Jan [More]
