John Seymour, 19th Duke of Somerset

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Michael Edward Seymour, 19th Duke of Somerset DL (b. December 30, 1952) is the son of Percy Seymour, 18th Duke of Somerset and Gwendoline Thomas.

In 1978, he married (Judith) Rose Hull. They have four children:

• Sebastian Edward Seymour, Lord Seymour (b. February 3, 1982)
• Lady Sophia Rose Seymour (b. 1987)
• Lady Henrietta Charlotte Seymour (b. 1989)
• Lord Charles Thomas George Seymour (b. 1992)

[edit] Patrilineal descent

John's patriline is the line from which he is descended father to son.

Patrilineal descent is the principle behind membership in ducal houses, as it can be traced back through the generations - which means that John’s historically accurate ducal house is Seymour.
