The Resume

(1512-September 7, 1548)
Last wife of King Henry VIII
Most married Queen in English History (four husbands in all)

Why she might be annoying:

King Henry VIII was her third husband.
She had radical views on religion. King Henry VIII quarrelled with her extreme Protestantism.
After King Henry VIII died she married her old love Thomas Seymour. He was the untrustworthy scoundrel brother of Jane Seymour who had an alleged affair with her stepdaughter Elizabeth.
She died during childbirth (her daughter Mary Seymour mysteriously died two years later).
Her grave was opened several times during the late 18th Century.

Why she might not be annoying:

She outlived her first three husbands.
She was responsible for reconciling King Henry VIII to his daughters (future Queens Mary I and Elizabeth I.).
She witnessed the last illness of King Henry VIII.
Her strength of character, her noted dignity, and her religious conviction might have influenced her stepdaughter Elizabeth.
She has good sense, moral rectitude, passionate religious commitment, and strong sense of loyalty and devotion.
She has many historical admirers including Dr. Starkey, feminist activist Karen Lindsey, Lady Antonia Fraser, Alison Weir and Alison Plowden.
