Henry VIII left Edward, the son of Jane Seymour, to be the King of England after his death. The boy was only nine years old when he came to power and was protected by the earl of Warwick, John Dudley. John created himself Duke of Northumberland and persuaded the young king to make his daughter in law, Lady Jane Seymour, his successor.

Edward VI was only fifteen when he died.
