Isabel Walton's fear that she would die of puerperal fever seemed a bit too much. At least, Prince Edward's mother, Queen Jane, and her good companion, Queen Catherine, are two prime examples. However, there are still many aristocratic women who do not die of puerperal fever after childbirth. For example, the wife of the Viscount of Lyle, the wife of the Earl of Westmoreland, and the wife of the Earl of Cumberland, these noble women bore several or even a dozen male and female offspring for their husbands.

Henry VIII died on 28 January 1547, and Catherine was able to marry her old love, Baron Seymour I of Hudley, Thomas Seymour. They were married six months after the death of the old king, and had permission from the new king. When their marriage became public, it also caused a little scandal.

Catherine became pregnant for the first time and was pregnant with Seymour's child at the age of 35. This was a pleasant surprise for Catherine, as none of her previous three marriages had been pregnant (of course, her husbands were much older than her). This time, she had a friction with her husband's brother, daughter-in-law, Anne Seymour, Duchess of Somerset, with the focus on Catherine's jewelry.

The Duchess argued that the jewels belonged to the Queen of England and that Catherine, as Queen Mother of England, should no longer wear them. On the contrary, she, as the wife of the Lord Protector, should be one of those who can wear them. She also invoked the Act of Succession, making it clear that Catherine had priority over other noblewomen in the Territory.

In fact, in terms of priority, the Duchess of Somerset is second to Miss Mary, Miss Elizabeth and Anne of Cleves, sister of the King. In the end, the Duchess won the argument, which caused a long-term breakdown in her relationship with Catherine, and the Seymour brothers deteriorated as a result.

Thomas witnessed the entire controversy and saw through his brother's personal attacks for the sake of social status. Catherine's marriage also became strained. In the sixteenth century, it was widely believed that sex was not allowed during pregnancy, and Seymour began to covet Catherine's stepdaughter, Miss Elizabeth, who was then living in their home. It was rumored that he was even planning to marry Elizabeth before marrying Catherine, and it was later said that Catherine found the two of them still hugging. Whether or not this happened, Elizabeth was sent to another mansion in May, never to see her dear stepmother again.

Catherine gave birth to her only child, a girl named Mary Seymour, on August 30, 1548. But she died six days later, on 5 September 1548 at Fort Hudley, Gloucestershire, and is thought to have died of puerperal fever or postpartum sepsis. Coincidentally, this is the same cause of death as Jane Seymour, Henry VIII's third wife. This is not unusual given the lack of postpartum health care for childbirth.

Less than a year later, Thomas Seymour was beheaded for treason. Mary was sent to be raised by Catherine Willoughby, widow of the Duke of Suffolk. She was a close friend of Catherine's. A year and a half later, an Act of Parliament restored Mary's property rights, relieving the Duchess of her burden. Mary Seymour was last mentioned in the literature on her second birthday, and although there are stories circulating that she later married and had children, most historians believe that she died as a child.

In 1782, a gentleman named John Locust discovered Queen Catherine's coffin in the ruins of the Chapel of Fort Hudley. He opened the coffin and observed it, and after 234 years, her body was preserved in a surprisingly good environment. One of her arms is said to be still white and moist. He took a few strands of her hair, sealed the coffin and relocated it to the tomb.

Ten years later, her coffin was opened several times. In 1792, a group of drunks even returned to the burial with the coffin upside down and acted rudely. When the official opening was made in 1817, only a skeleton remained. Her remains were moved to the graveyard of the Duke of Buckingham, who owned the castle at the time. A few years later, Sir John Scott rebuilt the chapel and built a suitable altar and tomb for Queen Catherine.

In popular legend, Catherine as a wife is more like her husband's nurse. This claim arose in the works of Agnes Strickland, a Victorian moralist and proto-feminist, in the 19th century. This speculation is questioned in David Starkey's book, Six Ives. He pointed out that because Henry VIII had a large number of physicians who served his hands and feet, and that Catherine wanted to live with the majesty of a queen, this was vaguely obscene to the Tudor royal family. Catherine Parr was often portrayed in films and television by actresses much older than her, and in fact she married the king in her early 30s and died at the age of 36. Catherine's intellect, moral integrity, fervent religious commitments, and strong loyalty and devotion have earned her many admirers among historians.

Taken by Catherine. With the consort of Queen Parr, Catherine married Henry VIII at Hampton Court Palace on 12 July 1543, becoming the first queen of England and the queen of Ireland as Henry succeeded to the throne of Ireland. As queen, Catherine was partly responsible for reconciling Henry's adopted daughters from his previous two marriages, who later became Queen Mary I and Queen Elizabeth I, respectively. She also developed a good relationship with Henry's son, Edward, who was then Prince of Wales and later became King Edward VI. When she ascended the throne, her uncle, Parr, Duke of Houghton, became her Chancellor.

During the three months of July and September 1544, Catherine was appointed regent during Henry VIII's last unsuccessful campaign in France. Thanks to her uncle's appointment as regent and her gentle treatment of Thomas Cranmer (Archbishop of Canterbury) and Edard Seymour (1st Earl of Hertford), Catherine gained effective control to exercise power as she wished. She dealt with Henry VIII's supply, finances, and convocations during the French campaign; Five royal proclamations were signed; Beyond the complex and volatile relationship with Scotland, she maintained steady liaison with her officers in the northern border area. Her acts as regent, strength of personality, majesty, and later religious beliefs are believed to have had a profound influence on her stepdaughter, Elizabeth I.

Whether or not she was officially converted to Protestantism, it is unlikely that Catherine was considered to have reformed too much and was suspected by Catholic and anti-Protestant bureaucrats such as Stephen Gardiner (Bishop of Winchester) and Lord Thomas Lysley (1st Earl of Southampton). They also tried to turn the king against her in 1546. An arrest warrant was drawn up, and rumors spread throughout Europe that the king was attracted to the queen's friend, Catherine illoughby, Duchess of Suffolk. However, Queen Catherine managed to reconcile with the king by swearing that she was merely a distraction from him by debating religious issues with him while he was suffering from a leg injury.
