jan 1, 1610 - Lady Arbella Stuart marries William Seymour 2nd Duke of Somerset

Description:

Lady Arbella Stuart (1575-1615) a claimant on the English throne (descended from both the Tudors and Stuarts) is another example of a non-conformist Renaissance woman. Her marriage to William Seymour the 2nd Duke of Somerset in 1610 strengthened her claim to the throne and she was therefore seen as a real threat to the reigning monarch, James I.
