    WILLIAM SEYMOUR  2ND DUKE SOMERSET
    Seymour made a secret marriage at Greenwich on 22 June 1610 to Arbella Stuart
    (d.1615), daughter of Charles Stuart, 1st Earl of Lennox and Elizabeth Cavendish.
    Arbella was thirteen years his senior, and King James I disapproved of the marriage as
    the union of two potential Tudor pretenders to the throne, who were respectively
    fourth and sixth in line, could only be seen as a threat to the ruling dynasty. As a result,
    William was condemned to life imprisonment in the Tower of London and thus
    became the fourth of five generations of Seymours to spend time in that prison.
    In June 1611 Seymour escaped from the Tower, planning to meet up with Arbella,
    who also had escaped captivity. They were to flee to the Continent, but bad weather
    and other circumstances prevented their meeting, and Arbella was recaptured and
    placed back in the Tower. William however managed to reach safety abroad at
    Ostend, but was never reunited with Arbella who remained in the Tower until her
    death in 1615.
