I'm going to answer my own question, courtesy Encyclopedia Brittanica.Darn - I though it above scenario would be sort of fun.
High Latimer was born between 1480 and 1485 at Thurscaston in Leicestershire, the son of a prosperous yeoman farmer. He was a Fellow at Cambridge, preached before the king during Lent 1530 and made sufficient impression to obtain appointment as royal chaplain.Cromwell made him Bishop of Worcester, and was a leader in reform.He lost his support at court with the sudden fall of Cromwell in 1540, and when Mary Tudor brought back Catholicism in 1553 he was marked for destruction.Burned at the stake in 1555
Catherine Parr, daughter of Sir Thomas Parr of Kendal, an official of the royal household.She had two husbands, Edward Borough (d. about 1529), and John Neville Lord Latimer, (d. 1542 or 1543), before she married Henry VIII.Soon after Henry's death in 1547 she married a former suitor, Thomas, Lord Seymour of Sudeley, brother of the protector Edward Seymour, duke of Someset.She died, shortly after giving birth to a daughter at Sudeley Castle, Gloucestershire, on September 7, 1548....Catherine wrote "A Lamentacion or Complaynt of a Sinner (1548), which was published after her death.
