Edward Seymour: Lord Protector by Margaret Scard
On the accession of the boy king, Edward VI in 1547, his uncle Edward Seymour became Lord Protector, Duke of Somerset and, overnight, the most powerful man in England. Foremost amongst the group of ambitious men who sought to govern, Seymour's usurpation of power set him on a course that ended on the block. To the common-folk Seymour was The Good Duke, but to his fellow councillors he was a traitor. This is a story of power and ambition, failure and execution.MARGARET SCARD’s interest in the Tudor period is focused particularly on the court life and politics of sixteenth century England. This is her second book and the extensive research it entailed has been underpinned by study at Oxford University. She is the author of Tudor Survivor: The Life and Times of William Paulet, also published by The History Press.
