ANcestry of Frances Herbert

I would like to check your views on the ancestry of Frances Herbert (1775-1830), since you say that her descent from Henry VII is questionable. I see we have at present (at least) two lines of descent here, as follows:

Certainly the line on the right-hand side through Elizabeth Percy (1667-1722) depends on a questionable assumption about the paternity of Catherine Carey (1524-1569), but I think that the line on the left-hand side through Charles Seymour, 6th Duke of Somerset (1662-1748) is generally accepted. In particular, this is the version I see from Paul Therroff (see "Descendants of King Henry VII" Part_h8 and front page). Do you agree, or do you doubt some other link?

(N.B. I can't be sure I haven't made an error creating the diagram).
