Empress Matilda, with all her rightful claim, seemed destined to become the first queen of England. However, her cousin Stephen, backed by the influential lords and barons, seized the opportunity from her grasp. King Stephen's wife, Matilda, added another layer to this historical drama with her significant presence. Eventually, the two formidable women found themselves in a fierce face-off, locked in a battle for the throne. 
This time in history is similar to the Wars of the Roses centuries later!

Of all the families of the Tudor era, the Seymours are the ones who sat closest to the throne. Jane Seymour became the third wife of Henry VIII and their son, Edward became the sixth king by that name.
In this episode I look at the origins of the Seymour family and discuss not only their ambitious nature but give a bit of insight into my research on not only the family but Thomas Seymour as well.
