Edward VI

Edward VI

When King Henry VII died in 1547, his only son, frail ten-year-old Edward VI, followed his father to the throne. Edward’s mother was Jane Seymour, whom Henry had married after he had executed Anne Boleyn on charges of adultery. During Edward’s brief years England saw the Six Articles repealed, priests allowed to marry, and the old Latin service of worship replaced by Cranmer’s Book of Common Prayer in English.
