Like his father, he was a Cavalier, for which he was imprisoned in the Tower of London during the Commonwealth, 9 April to 9 September 1651, being released on £10,000 bond.〔 He died 14 March 1654 and was buried at Bedwyn Magna 30 March, having died at "Tilsy" according to the burial record in the parish register.〔 His widow married in 1657 Lord Herbert, later created the 1st Duke of Beaufort. His children: *William Seymour, 3rd Duke of Somerset (1654–1671) *Lady Elizabeth Seymour (c. 1655 – 1697); she was granted the style and rank of daughter of a duke on 28 June 1672, and married Thomas Bruce, 2nd Earl of Ailesbury, on 31 August 1676.
