This resulted in both her sons being excluded in 1540 from their inheritances and their claims to their father's dignities in favour of his children by his second wife, Ann Stanhope;[3] her eldest son succeeding his father as Duke of Somerset.
A monument to Lord Edward Seymour survives in St Mary's Church, Berry Pomeroy, standing against the north wall of the north aisle of the Seymour Chapel.
It was described by the architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner (1952) as: "The figure carving astonishingly naive.
[6] Writing in 1909, John Stabb described the monument thus:[7] In the north wall of the chapel at the east end of the north aisle is a fine monument [...], erected to the memory of Lord Edward Seymour, the son of the Protector, who died in 1593, and of his son, Sir Edward Seymour, and his daughter-in-law, Elizabeth, daughter of Arthur Champernowne.
The arch is ornamented with roses and pomegranates; beneath the arch lie the knights, clothed in plate armour, one above the other; below lies the lady, behind her head a cradle with a child in it, and at her feet a figure in a chair.
