Synopsis

This book presents an analysis of the reign of Edward VI of England, focusing on the qualities of Edward, the nobility and their role in his rule, and the economics and governance of his reign. The author, a contemporary of Edward's, provides greater insight into the boy king and the religious, political, and economic dynamics of the mid-16th century than any other historical account. The text offers a counterpoint to the accepted views of the period, demonstrating that Edward was a canny, complex boy king whose untimely death left a significant void in English history. Through a nuanced and sympathetic portrayal, the author unearths a complex and capable young man who led England through a period of significant change, offering rich material for historians and Tudor enthusiasts alike.
