Talk:Catherine Fillol

Untitled
This entry is essentially unsound as there is an underlying assumption that Catherine Filoll was unfaithful. Allegations of rumours of an affair date to the 17th century, and appear to be based on hearsay published by 1 or 2 individuals. Before debating whether the truth lay in such stories, it would be wise to study the transcript of the 1604 Act of parliament concerning the inheritance of Sir Edward Seymour ( grandson of Catherine Fillol) and Edward Seymour, Earl of Hertford ( son of Anne Stanhope). The outcome of any affair, which would have occurred in 1523, was by no stretch of the imagination 'at the same time' as the wedding of Jane Seymour to King Henry VIII, some 13 years later in 1536. To state that contemporary records of an affair did not exist in order to enable the social advancement of the Seymours is at best misleading. Ditto, to suggest that there were persistent contemporary rumours of an affair. If there were contemporary rumours, then there would have been contemporary records, otherwise no one today would know! Edward Seymour was locked in deep dispute with Lord Lisle between 1526 and 1532. News of any scandalous nature would have been welcome to the many adversaries of the ambitious Edward Seymour  (161.73.101.3 (talk) 12:29, 10 November 2011 (UTC)).
