Edward VI of England
"Edward Tudor" redirects here. For the impostor who masqueraded as
Edward Plantagenet, 17th Earl of Warwick and as such claimed the throne as "Edward VI" in 1487, see
Lambert Simnel. Edward VI (
12 October 1537 –
6 July 1553) became
King of England,
King of France (in practice only the town and surrounding district of
Calais) and Edward I of
Ireland on
28 January 1547, and crowned on 20 February, at just nine years of age. Edward, the son of
Henry VIII and
Jane Seymour, was the third monarch of the
Tudor dynasty and England's first ruler who was
Protestant at the time of his ascension to the throne. Edward's entire rule was mediated through a council of
regency as he never reached maturity. The council was first led by his uncle,
Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset (1547–1549), and then by
John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland (1549–1553).

Edoardo VI d'Inghilterra
Nel 1544 Enrico VIII, con l'Act of Succession, aveva indicato la linea di successione designando al trono, dopo Edoardo, la cattolica
Maria. Ma Edoardo, sollecitato dal suo Consiglio a non ridare l'
Inghilterra in mano ai papisti, designò come propria erede la sua coetanea e compagna d'infanzia
lady Jane Grey, pronipote di
Enrico VII che era stata educata alla corte dell'ultima moglie di suo padre,
Catherine Parr, come
Elisabetta.Il giovane re era di bell'aspetto e di intelligenza non comune - ma assai fragile nel corpo. Nell'inverno del 1552 si ammalò, e morì nell'estate successiva, a 16 anni (ci fu chi disse che era stato avvelenato).
