Catherine gave birth to her only child — a daughter, Mary Seymour, named after Catherine's stepdaughter Mary on 30 August 1548, and died only six days later, on 5 September 1548, at Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire, from what is thought to be puerperal fever or puerperal sepsis, also called childbed fever. Coincidentally, this was also the illness that killed Henry's third wife, Jane Seymour. It was not uncommon, due to the lack of hygiene around childbirth. Nevertheless, a theory exists that Catherine's husband, Sir Thomas Seymour, may have poisoned her in order to carry out his plan to marry Lady Elizabeth Tudor.
Mary was left a destitute orphan in the care of Katherine Willoughby Duchess of Suffolk, who appears to have resented this imposition[1]. After 1550 Mary disappears from historical record completely, leading to the conclusion that she did not live past the age of two however some historian believe she did live into adulthood :-)

By making research to improve my knowledge about the Tudors, I have learnt that Catherine died in childbirth, aged 36. Does domeone know what was the exact cause of this event? And what her daughter Mary became? Did she trully died aged 2?
