Edward VI of England
Edward VI was King of England from 1547 to 1553, succeeding his father, Henry VIII. He became king at a young age and was a Protestant, promoting reforms to establish a more Protestant church, reducing Catholic practices. His reign was marked by efforts to shape religious doctrine, but he died at just 15. His rule was heavily influenced by his advisors, and he struggled with health issues. Edward’s time as king set the stage for significant religious and political changes in England, influencing the nation’s shift away from Catholicism toward Protestantism.
