Edward Seymour was an English nobleman and politician who served as Lord Protector of England from 1547 to 1549 during the minority of his nephew King Edward VI. He was the eldest surviving brother of Queen Jane Seymour, the third wife of King Henry VIII. He became Warden of the Scottish Marches and continued in royal favour after his sister's death. Towards the end of 1549, in a coup d’etat led by John Dudley, Earl of Warwick, Seymour was removed from his position as Lord Protector. In October 1551 he was sent to the Tower on an exaggerated charge of treason. He was executed for felony (that of seeking a change of government) on 22 January 1552.
