Shallow, ambitious, yet irresistible – Thomas Seymour and Katherine Parr.

Katherine Parr fell deeply for Thomas Seymour, a love that would ultimately cause her profound heartbreak – you'll have to read Queen's Gambit to find out the details. What interests me about this relationship is that it was possible for a woman of her intelligence to be a fool for love. Some things never change, why is it that clever women make bad decisions when it comes to romance?
