At the lower part inscribed in the printing plate: "Edouard Seymour [...]". Date: Description: Half-length portrait in the picture field, set as a trompe-l'œil in a park landscape. Person: Duke Edward 1. Seymour, Somerset (around 1500 - 1552 London) English statesman and brother of Queen Jane Seymour, the third wife of King Henry VIII. After his sister's marriage to the king, he made a career at court, quickly receiving the titles of Viscount Beauchamp and Earl of Hertford and the offices of Chancellor of North Wales and Governor and Captain of Jersey. In the last years of Henry VIII, Seymour took part in military campaigns against France and Scotland, and after the latter's death became Lord Protector to the still minor King Edward VI. As regent of England, Seymour openly promoted Protestantism, which led to rebellions in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset. His campaign against Scotland, an attempt to force the marriage of Edward VI to Mary Stuart, also a minor Scottish queen, ended in financial disaster for England. Increasingly unpopular among the nobility, Seymour was overthrown in December 1549 and imprisoned in the Tower of London for several months. Although he was released in May 1550 and re-admitted to the Crown Council, the nobility continued to distrust him. On 16 October 1551, at the instigation of John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland, he was arrested for high treason and beheaded on Tower Hill on 22 January 1552.
