Background
The granddaughter of the 2nd Duke of Somerset, sister to deceased William Seymour, Duke of Somerset, daughter of an earl. She is the heiress to the Seymour fortune, descendant of the brother of Queen Jane Seymour from the Tudor period, Edward Seymour, Lord Protector of England, regent during Edward VI. Due to this infamous period the Seymours, the Cavendish's and the Howards are still considered to be among the most powerful families of England. She is cousin once removed to Francis Seymour, 5th Duke of Somerset.
She was brought up in London Society, raised mostly by her grandfather and later lived with her now deceased brother. Her brother was part of the group known as The Young Dukes who roamed the streets of London in earlier years.
She married Louis Killington, earl of Basildon, raising a few eyebrows. Yet she proved herself loyal to her husband even through scandal. Before her marriage, her preferment was raised to daughter of a Duke, by royal command, but upon her marriage she took on that of her husband.
