Elizabeth Seymour, Lady Cromwell - The Consummate Courtier

In the most recent episode of Wolf Hall, we were introduced to Elizabeth Seymour, the sister of Queen Jane Seymour and wife of Gregory Cromwell, the son and heir of his much more infamous father, Thomas. Elizabeth Seymour would serve three of King Henry VIII’s queens, but strangely one that she didn’t would be her own sister. Elizabeth would have a remarkable life, living long enough to witness periods of five of the Tudor monarchs, including Lady Jane Grey and in addition to Gregory Cromwell, would be married two further times. But who actually was Elizabeth Seymour, what was her career at court like, which Tudor sovereigns did she serve and has a portrait, longed believed to depict Katheryn Howard actually been Elizabeth all along?
