The Tudor Society

Anne Seymour (née Stanhope) – Did she really have scandalous affairs?

One of the questions I received for the Anne Boleyn Files and Tudor Society Channel's fan Q&A series was from Tudor Society member Colleen, and her beautiful cat, King Louis.

The question was regarding Anne Seymour (née Stanhope), second wife of Edward Seymour, who, of course became Lord Protector in his nephew Edward VI's reign. In Showtime's "The Tudors" series, Anne is rather a colourful character, a badly behaved woman who has an affair with a courtier and another with her own brother-in-law, but is there any truth in this or is it fictional?
