Sir Edward Seymour, of Berry Pomeroy

Lord Edward Seymour (c. 1528 - 2 May 1593), knight, of Berry Pomeroy, Devon, was Sheriff of Devon in 1583 and was knighted by his father the Duke of Somerset on the battlefield of Pinkie Cleugh on 10 September 1547.

He was the eldest son (but not the main heir) of Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset (c.1500-1552) by his first wife Catherine Fillol (or Filliol) (c.1507-1535) a daughter and co-heiress of Sir William Fillol (1453-1527), of Fillol's Hall, Essex and Woodlands, Horton, Dorset. The children from this first marriage ranked below those from the Duke's second marriage to Ann Stanhope, the eldest son of which, due apparently to his wife's persuasion, succeeded his father as Duke of Somerset. By an entail made during the time of his second marriage the Duke excluded from the inheritance of his estates the children of his first marriage. It has been alleged that adultery between Catherine Fillol and her father-in-law Sir John Seymour (d.1536) ended the Duke's first marriage.

In June 1553 he received the manor of Berry Pomeroy, Devon, including Berry Pomeroy Castle.

He married Margaret Walshe, a daughter and co-heiress of John Walshe (c.1517-1572) (alias Walsh, Welsh, etc.) of Cathanger,Fivehead, Somerset, Justice of the Common Pleas in 1563, MP for Cricklade (1547), Bristol (twice in 1553, twice in 1554, 1555, 1559, 1563), Somerset (1558) by whom he had one son:
