REF: Fribbler. 19th September 2008. EDIT: (It's not "the" Jane Seymour. It was his wife.)
The fact of Robert’s wife named Jane Seymour, in comparison with “the” Jane Seymour, must be considered when analyzing evidences, motives and causations of Robert’s death.
“The” Jane Seymour wife of Henry VIII was mother to the last English King Edward VI. (English law forbade matrilineal succession) As determined in the will of Henry VIII, Edward Seymour, Lord Beauchamp (b.1561), his 3 sons; 3 daughters and brother, were all named as successors to the English Throne, (then again after Elizabeth I, and James I.)
The 1st evidence of a Seymour (Beauchamp) ancestry being usurped occurred in the German 1st reign (matrilineal descent) of King George 1st. His Prime Minister; Walpole ('his' crest representing the House of Wettin – Queen Victoria) usurped the confiscated McDermott – Beauchamp Arms (Chevron; Cross Crosslet, and motto Dieu et mon Droit.)
During the childless reign of King William IV, Robert Seymour’s suicide verdict literally determined him as a felon, and for his crime, his properties were forfeited to William IV, for the German 2nd reign (Victoria’s matrilineal descent) of her Sax Coburg-Gotha heirs.
Thus, the (Seymour) succession of Edward VI; went to (Sax Coburg-Gotha) Edward VII.Stephen2nd (talk) 12:02, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
