By her will dated 7th June, 1673, the Duchess bequeathed to her 
grand-daughter, the Lady Elizabeth Seymour, the magnificent 
_ pedigree of the Seymour Family now preserved at Savernake : also 
a “great rich bed that was Queen Jane Seymour’s.” By the docu- 
ment printed in the Appendix (No. xxiv.), it appears that certain 
tapestrie, bed-furniture, &c., “said to be wrought by Queen Jane,” 
had become the property of the Crown, and had been delivered by 
King Charles I. to the Duchess’s husband, then Marquis of Hertford: 
but after the King’s death, the Commissioners for the sale of his 
goods, made the Marquis pay sixty pounds for them. 
In the Appendix (No. xxv.) will be found a letter with curious 
particulars of the burial of her husband at Bedwyn in 1660, and 
(No. xxvi.) a herald Painter’s bill for a great deal of finery at her 
own funeral in 1674. 
One of her daughters, Lady Mary Seymour, married Heneage 
Finch, second Earl of Winchelsea: and one of their daughters, 
Lady Frances Finch, married Thomas Thynne, first Viscount Wey- 
mouth. To her the Duchess gave the moiety of the Izish estates of 
Devereux, Earl of Essex, which has descended to the Marquis of 
Bath.? William, third Duke of Somerset, having died 1671, a 
‘minor and unmarried, the Wulfhall and other estates passed to his 
sister and heir, Lady Elizabeth Seymour (above-mentioned), who in 
1676 married Thomas, second Earl of Ailesbury. 
1 Upon the decease of the Duchess, the Bed and other articles, plate, pictures, 
&c., were delivered by her Executor, Thomas Thynne (first Lord Weymouth), 
to Lady Elizabeth Seymour, whose receipt for the same, together with a list of 
them, is at Longleat. The tapestry would probably have been Queen Jane’s 
handy work at her father’s house at Wulfhall. 
? This also, in addition to the reason given above, p.149, accounts for so many 
papers and documents relating to the Seymour Family being found at Longleat.
