Who was Edward VI?
To many, he’s the pale, serious boy in a fur-trimmed coat, a footnote between Henry VIII and Mary I.
But in reality, Edward’s short reign reshaped England dramatically.
In A Beginner’s Guide to Edward VI, I explore:
- His sheltered childhood and intense education
- The power struggle between Edward Seymour and John Dudley
- The sweeping Protestant reforms that changed England’s religious identity
- The rebellions that shook the kingdom
- Edward’s final illness, and his disastrous “Devise for the Succession”
- How his decisions paved the way for the Lady Jane Grey crisis
Edward VI ruled for just six years… yet his policies, beliefs, and fears set England on a path that would shape three Tudor reigns after him.
