Arbella was thirteen years his senior, and the marriage was disapproved of by King James I of England - the marriage of two potential pretenders to the throne could only be seen as a threat to the ruling dynasty.
Seymour, who succeeded his grandfather as Earl of Hertford in 1621, became a prominent member of the opposition to King Charles I in the House of Lords, supporting the Petition of Right of 1628, and co-signing the letter of the 12 Peers of 1640, along with his brother-in-law the Earl of Essex.
