Edward VII, known as "The Peacemaker," was the King of the United Kingdom from 1901 to 1910. He was the eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Edward's reign marked a shift towards modernity, embracing social change and promoting diplomacy. He played a crucial role in strengthening relationships with other nations, most notably through the Entente Cordiale with France.
