only child of Henry VIII by his third wife, Jane
Seymour, who died delivering his baby. A short life
was anticipated for him from his early years. He was
Duke of Cornwall from his birth, but he was never
prince of Wales, and he was only nine when he
succeeded his father as king of England and Ireland
and supreme head of the English Church.

forward by Northumberland, He was entitled to all
Henry´s power.

known that he was dying. Mary and Elizabeth and other
important women were excluded from the throne,
except for Jane who was left the crown, but at first she
was excluded because no women could reign. Edward

heirs male . Instead of reading like that it was the Lady
Jane and her heirs male.
