Edward Seymour + being the only person in the room to know some history but not always
“on 17 May 1536, the marriage between Henry and Anne was annulled – that is to say, it was declared null and void as if it had never happened. From this point, contemporary documents tend to refer to Elizabeth as “the Lady Elizabeth” just as Mary Tudor was “the Lady Mary” <...> The Third Act of Succession of 1543/44 restored Mary and Elizabeth of the line of succession behind Prince Edward. If Edward died without heirs then they could inherit the throne in turn. However, it did not reverse their illegitimacy. Elizabeth therefore continued to be referred to as “the Lady Elizabeth” or sometimes “the King’s sister the Lady Elizabeth”.” — [x] — Kirsten Claiden-Yardley
