"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).
