BREAKING Into The Tomb Of The Tragic Tudor Boy King

One of the most tragic Tudor monarchs was Edward VI. He was just a young boy when he came onto the throne, and his reign was marked by economic problems and social unrest. But he was the son of the notorious and brutal Henry VIII, and it was hoped that Edward would carry the Tudor dynasty forward and that his descendants would rule over England for centuries to come. This did not happen, as at the age of 15 inside of Greenwich palace, Edward VI died after suffering from a serious bout of illness. Following his death, further turmoil would occur as the 9 day queen Lady Jane Grey came onto the throne, but then she was ousted by Mary I, who went on to be known as Bloody Mary I. But Edward VI’s reign was one which was short-lived in the years following his father, and it was dominated by Edward Seymour the Duke of Somerset and uncle of the King who would later be executed for treason. But after his death, Edward was interred inside of Westminster Abbey in a huge ceremony, however his tomb would be broken into centuries later, and his coffin would be disturbed.
