S1 • E1 45m
Edward VI became king at the age of nine upon the death of his father, Henry VIII, and a Regency was created. Although he was intellectually precocious (fluent in Greek and Latin, he kept a full journal of his reign), he was not, however, physically robust.
On his death from tuberculosis in 1553, Lady Jane Grey briefly assumed the throne.
