Elizabeths_Secret


 * Queen Elizabeth’s secret past**

//An anonymous source tells us the truth about The Queen.// //We give you all details on the filthy affair with the married 1st Baron Seymour of Sudeley.// It has become a well known fact that soon after Henry VIII’s death, Elizabeth received a marriage proposal from Thomas Seymour. Earlier friends of Henry have expressed that this was only an attempt to get power over England, as he knew she would become queen if all her siblings died without heirs. He was very jealous of the young King Edward the 6th and wanted the throne for himself. Elizabeth shocked him by turning down, knowing what Seymour’s motive was. This resulted in Seymour marrying the newly widowed Queen Katherine. She, like the rest of England at this time, was unaware of Seymour’s previous proposal to her stepdaughter. The following years Elizabeth lived with them at the royal Old Manor House in Chelsea.

Behind the perfect appearance of the marriage, Thomas Seymour evidently still had designs on the young Elizabeth. An anonymous witness tells us that Seymour made a custom of paying Elizabeth visits in her bedroom in the early morning before she was dressed. He supposedly tickled her and slapped her bottom; kissing has also been involved. Our source tells us that Elizabeth seemed to enjoy the attention he gave her. Elizabeth was 14 and Thomas Seymour was 40.

In a comment to The Tudor Tattler, a retired servant of Seymour’s tells us: //“Katherine was aware of what was going on, but she didn’t take it as serious as it was. She saw it all as innocent romping. One of the other girls once saw her joining in on one of their games, she held Elizabeth in the garden while Thomas cut off little Elizabeth’s dress. We (the chambermaids, red.adm.) did not want to interfere, but we were shocked.”//

Seymour did not like the fact that his wife was starting to find out that this was more than just innocent play. Thus he spread out a rumour, stating that he had seen Elizabeth with her arms around another man’s neck. Elizabeth denied this, and Katherine began to suspect that her husband had been making advances to her stepdaughter.

“//One day Katherine went looking for her husband and Elizabeth, and she busted into them when they were all alone, he having her in his arms. It was terrible, and the next thing we know Elizabeth was banished from the house,”// the earlier servant continues. “//They tried to work out their marriage, but a few months later the most awful thing happened. Katherine died after childbirth. It was a real tragedy.”//

After Katherine’s death, Seymour resumed to his plans to marry Elizabeth. She did still not want to, and Seymour was arrested on charges of plotting to marry Elizabeth and to take over the government. He was beheaded for his crimes, and Elizabeth pretended that nothing ever happened between the two of them.
