Edward VI of England<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Edward VI of England was born on 12th of October, 1537. He was the son of Henry VIII of England. Edward\u2019s mother was Henry\u2019s third wife, Jane Seymour. Edward had two older half-sisters, Mary and Elizabeth. Henry\u2019s education began when he was 9 years old. He was educated by private tutors because he was the king’s only son. During his education, Edward became quite interested in theology, but especially in Protestantism.<\/span><\/p>\n

Edward\u2019s life took a turn for the worst when his father died when Edward was only 9 years old. He became king in 20th of February, 1547. Because of Henry\u2019s young age, he wasn\u2019t the complete ruler. As by his father\u2019s will, he appointed a council to govern England before Edward turned 18. Due to Edward\u2019s young age when he became king, he was nicknamed the \u201cSecond Josiah\u201d or the \u201cBritish Josiah\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though Edward had the council with him he still had some influence in several places. But he still needed somebody to help him enact the reforms he wanted to the church. Thomas Cranmer Archbishop of Canterbury helped Edward carry out these reforms to the church. So Edward started changing churches from Catholicism to Protestantism. Due to all the changes in the church, people started revolting and rebelling against Edward. This came to a peak in 1549 when to revolts had to be stopped by the English military. There was another effect of his reforms, he had started the English Reformation.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1553 Henry became sick and the council of England thought he would die so they started looking for a new heir. Because Henry didn\u2019t have any children his oldest half-sister would become queen, but Edward knew that Mary was a Catholic and that she would ruin his changes to the church. So Edward chose his cousin Lady Jane Grey. And on 6th of July, 1553 Edward VI died of Tuberculosis and only 4 days later Lady Jane Grey became Queen of England.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lady Jane Grey<\/b><\/p>\n

Lady Jane Grey was born in October 1537. Because her father was the Duke of Suffolk she received a very nice humanist education, although she didn\u2019t receive the education for a queen, because she wasn\u2019t in the line of succession. So when Edward wanted her to become queen this came as a big surprise, but after 4 days she finally agreed. Edward\u2019s half-sister Mary didn\u2019t like that she didn\u2019t become queen so she gathered an army of supporters and marched to London. The council apologized for crowning Lady Jane Grey and now they supported Mary. Lady Jane Grey was captured on 19th of July, 1553 and executed in 1554. Because of her extremely short reign, she is sometimes known as the \u201cNine Days Queen\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
