Protestant Reforms of Edward VI

Edward Tudor

King Edward VI of England. Monarch of the Tudor dynasty who reigned from 1547 to 1553, he was born as the only son of Henry VIII and his third queen, Jane Seymour. Ascending the throne at age nine, he was governed under the regency and council of figures such as Duke Edward Seymour and Duke John Dudley. He earnestly promoted Protestant reform in England, introducing the Book of Common Prayer in 1549 and 1552 and reforming the clergy system. Meanwhile, he also faced war with Scotland, domestic rebellions, and financial troubles. Just before dying of illness in 1553, he designated the Protestant Lady Jane Grey as his successor instead of his half-sister Mary.
