Topic- Tudors

Five hundred years ago the world was a very different place. We were only just realizing that America existed and we had no idea about Australia. England (including the Principality of Wales) and Scotland were separate kingdoms, each with their own royal family. The Tudors were a Welsh-English family that ruled England and Wales from 1485 to 1603 - one of the most exciting periods of British history.

Task 3

Poor King Edward VIEdward was the only son of Henry VIII. Edward VI became king at the age of nine upon the death of his father, Henry Vlll. He was known as 'The Boy King'. His mother was Jane Seymour, Henry Vlll's third wife.Edward was a sickly child and the country was run by his protectors: firstly, the Duke of Somerset, his mother's brother, then by the Duke of Northumberland.Edward enjoyed reading about battles and writing Greek.Edward died at the age of 16 in 1553.

Why was the country run by other people?

Do you think it was easy or hard to be King at a young age?

King Edward had always been sickly. He got ill very often and struggled with his health. Before his death, his protectors made him sign a piece of paper that said when he died his cousin, Jane Grey, would become Queen instead of his sister, Mary, who was a catholic. Why did they not want Mary to become queen?What happened to Jane Grey?
