		The last of the six wives of Henry VIII, she was the eldest daughter of Thomas Parr of Kendal Castle, Controller of the Household to Henry VIII, though it is more likely that she was born in her Father's house at Blackfriars in London.

		It was suggested that Thomas Seymour tried to initiate an affair with the young princess Elizabeth who was eventually sent to Cheshunt, the house of Sir Anthony Denny, to prevent the Admiral from further temptation.

	Personality of Catherine Parr and Thomas Seymour
		With regard to Catherine Parr, his "stereotype" label for her is "the Bluestocking" (his stereotypic labels for Henry's other wives are the Saint, the Schemer, the Doormat, the Dim Fat Girl and the Sexy Teenager).
		Catherine was oblivious to Thomas Seymour's dalliances with Elizabeth in her own household, and in a well-known bizarre incident she was involved in the physical restraint of Elizabeth and in the cutting of her dress to ribbons.
		In part because of Catherine's lack of ability to be a stabilizing force in the family, Elizabeth later found herself being interrogated for improprieties, and Thomas Seymour ultimately found himself on the scaffold facing the headsman.
