Description
This new biography of Edward VI, the boy king who died at 15 after ruling England for only six years, reveals for the first time his significant personal impact on the history of his country.
Jennifer Loach portrays Edward as healthy and vigorous (contrary to previous views), precocious, highly educated, and decisive, and she details the dramatic context in which he played out his reign.

Edward VI reshapes the common perception of the king as a feeble ruler, instead portraying him as energetic and aristocratic.

Described as a "tour de force," it stands as a noteworthy work by a respected historian.
