The PAINFUL Death Of King Edward VI Of England - The Boy Tudor King

- During the Tudor period, there was one King who's reign was considered a great shame. King Edward VI was the son that Henry VIII wished so much for, and he was seen as the great hope for the Tudor dynasty, and it was hoped he would reign for a long time. But this was not the case, as Edward VI died at just the age of 15 and his death was seen across England as a tragic thing. Edward was seen as a rather sickly child, and throughout his short life he became ill a number of times. He was known to have contracted smallpox, but he did recover but some bouts of his poor health led doctors to believe that Edward would pass away.
In 1553, the King's health went downhill rapidly, and Edward VI was seen as gravely ill. He began to make arrangements for his successor and disinherited his half sisters Mary and Elizabeth, and named Lady Jane Grey as his successor. But Edward wasted away very quickly and it's believed that he died from TB or tuberculosis. This was a common disease in Tudor England, and at the time it attacked the young King's lungs and he was known for being very ill. In his final days, he was coughing up blood and was covered in sores and scabs. However despite his short reign, he had changed England forever with regards to religious reform. But Edward's death was incredibly painful and tragic, and his reign was seen as a short and wasteful one. It was believed that he would reign for decades, but at just 15 Edward VI passed away.

I can't believe that he was so sheltered and protected but then they decided to let a random woman "heal" him when he was so ill.
Desperation probably.
At the time there were a lot of women herbalists who did know how to heal. At this point he was already at death's door so they had nothing to lose by giving this a try.
Marys mother Katherine was so powerful in her faith and loved tremendously by the people that the people wanted her daughter Queen
You found a myriad of great painting of him, some of which I have never seen. Good job!
“The most beautiful boy ever seen.” Ehhh… you have to say that about King Henry VIII’s son. 😂
Would that be the actual prince or the pauper?
Right or you might end up with your head in the Thames. 😂
🤣😂😃
I just love looking at old paintings and learning about the kings of the past. Glad you posted a link to this channel. 👍
Allededly poisoned slowly by Arsen....
Not important so don't worry
Scoliosis also ran in the Tudors thanks to Elizabeth of York, it affected her uncle Richard III.
“A back brace, a back brace, my kingdom for a back brace!”
@@Frankie5Angels150 onya frank the tank
That unknown lady who was supposed to “Heal “ him. I believed she poisoned him!
I thought the same thing.
Maybe so
If he was prison beause that person did not want him to rule England to be like his dad his dad was a bad king
That's what I'm also thinking,but who?
I love your channel. I appreciate your in-depth research and telling of history. Thank you 😊
Another excellent & informative video. Thanks for your efforts in the videos you make 👍
Very interesting.
The later Tudor Monarchs had a big influence on affairs here in Ireland.
This detailed account of the myriad diseases and illnesses, inherited and contracted, that plagued this young man and sent him to an early grave should make us appreciate modern medicine all the more.
Thank you.
Edward vi (1537 - 6 July 1553)
had an older illegtimate, half-brother,
Henry Fitzroy Tudor, Duke of Richmond,
(1519 -- 1536) died at age 17 of
(suspected) Tuberculosis. Henry viii
also had other illegitimate children
I am Irish to!
Thanks for the Informative Video.
Love you videos!
It sounded like he had tuberculosis but by the time his hair was falling out and his nails were falling off that sounds like poisoning. It could be that Edward did get very ill and possibly with pneumonia throwing up yellow green stuff, and then blood. It's very possible that during that time or shortly thereafter he was being poisoned. Certain kind of poisons do make your hair fall out and your nails. Either which way it's horribly sad because he was so young.. he was going to name his sister Elizabeth as his successor because she was Protestant but he said that Elizabeth would never take the throne in front of Mary.. therefore, Edward marked out Mary and Elizabeth's name from his father's will and the actual law that was signed by Henry the 8th and his counsel before Henry's death.. Edward didn't have the authority to change that will by himself or even with Dudley's approval. That's another reason why Mary was able to get such support when she came to take the throne and remove the Lady Jane Gray.. it wasn't Jane's fault because she was used as a pawn. That's why Mary didn't harm her but just imprisoned her and her husband. Mary warned her father John Grey that if he acted out again that he and his daughter and son-in-law would be put to death. He did uprise against Mary again and sure enough he was executed a month or so after Dudley had been and then right after that his daughter, Jane the nine day Queen of England, and her husband were both executed..
There's tons of first hand information, written by members of the English court in regards to Edward VI's final illness. It's highly doubtful he was deliberately poisoned. If there was even a hint of suspicion of him being poisoned, someone would have wrote about it. They knew enough about the symptoms and tell tale signs to all types of poisons, and no one suspected that what had happened to the young king fit the profile of a poisoning. However, it is important to keep in mind that a lot of the "medicines" back then were not only (much of the time) counterproductive and dangerous- BUT lethal. I'm sure some the medicine administered to him definitely hastened his death.
People suffered like dogs back then, not a good time to live in. 😐
Jesus, Im shocked he didnt catch Covid as well
Imagine, trying to live a life like yours, with your mind so full & indoctrinated with Covid, that it is the only thing you can think about all the time. What a sad life, or an even more pathetic "joke", as I'm sure you will say this is. 🤦♂️🙄🥱

Shouldn't we be thankful for modern medical science . Living in those times you were literally running the gauntlet of all those different diseases.
Not only the diseases, but even the cures! Smh, lol, in fact I think that "cures" (blood letting, a.k.a draining the blood from the body) was one of the causes of George Washington's death, as they drained more blood(up to 40%!) too quickly for the body to be able to replenish.
Often times the cure back then was worse than the disease ("Here, let me drain your blood with leeches, and here, wash this down with some mercury, it will make you feel better").
We run the risk to end up in the same conditions again! More and more antibiotics don't work anymore because of bacterias became resistant.
Not literally.
And, it’s gantlet. A gauntlet is a type of glove.
It's better than it was but the cancer death rates haven't really changed in decades
Great content
This boy is the one who swapped places with a pauper boy lookalike in *The Prince And The Pauper.*
No, that would be the son of Henry the VIIIth.
@@Frankie5Angels150 Yes, this Edward is Henry VIII son and the prince in the fictional Mark Twain story, The Prince and The Pauper...both one and the same prince.
As about the food given to him when he was sick for 10 days, it is believed the practice is already popular in China before England did it.
The broth is believed to be able clean the intestine, thus after the medication, the intestine would be able process all nutrients properly and no single drop will be wasted.
Usually, the patient will be banned to eat meat for a year after that, but as far as I know there is no record stating what he got after recovery.
*P.s sorry for my messed up english, not my mother language.
interesting
your English is great! thanks for the info
No matter how great or horrible
Someone is
Nobody DESERVED
What this child went through!
Of course he was a brat and entitled
He was KING!
Back then
It was thought that
God chose Kings
Back then money could not buy health.
No, but the Catholic church made a fortune charging the dying to have their sins forgiven so they can enter heaven, heretical, Satanist, money grubbers.
I feel kinda bad for King Edward VI. His father only wanted him as an heir and not a child to love and cherish, and all that stress and pressure of ruling England at a young age probably lead to his premature death
Im glad to hear he was at least well liked. Thats far too young for all that responsibility and far too you to pass.
I love the Tudor era more than any other time in English history. What I’ve always wondered tho is- did they just turn anyone loose with a paintbrush 🖌?
I feel very sorry for Edward VI, he had so much potential to rule England, and he didn’t deserve his illnesses. God bless
His reign would've been more turbulent than his father's or his half-sisters reigns because of all the changes he was trying to affect.
Does anyone deserve illness?
He literally burned people alive...
He was on track to be a worse religious fanatic than the other monarchs around his time. And that's saying something.
@@natedorney7032 I’ve come a long way over the past year in my knowledge of the era and now I completely agree with you.
Love you
Did he have something wrong with his ears because in some of the paintings of him shows a withered, wrinkled left ear and pointy like an elf in story books is the only way I can describe it?
I noticed that too, I also noticed they looked big and low set. It is very interesting that different artists painted his ears exactly the same on each portrait. This tells me that his ears were not normal and were very noticeable.
I too notice it but not all paintings were the same. In some paintings were the head was painted oval ears pointed
He was an ancestor of Stephen Colbert.
@@Frankie5Angels150 Edward had no children, therefore, he has no descendants.
People were so sick in those days
He was much kinder and soft than his father. I wish he would have lived a long happy life, England wouldn't have seen bloody Mary and later Catholics martyred in the reign of Elizabeth I. Though she brought the golden age of England. Thanks for your great video.
You wrote, "He was much kinder and soft (sic) than his father". His father, Henry VIII , didn't start his reign as a cruel and nasty ruler. As a matter of fact, he was kindly and was very much loved and respected by the English people. They gave him the moniker "Good king Harry". As Henry grew older, he became a tyrant. But before that, he had many good years. You kinda can't compare a 36 year reign of a 55 year old king to a 5 year reign of a 15 year old boy. I'm sure with time, Edward would have been just as brutal as his father. If you read what he wrote about the Catholics in England, you'd see Edward was a religious zealot in the making.
His injuries sustained in a jousting accident turned him into a tyrant.
I have a T-shirt which I bought on red bubble About 3 years ago with his portrait on it.
Here !
Bob Cosmic, what a useless comment
Excellent. So sad. I think he was poisoned . poor boy. It was a terrible time. 😊🐘💝
A feaver those times was like a DEATH SENTENCE.......
Fever from TB or Plague symptoms are similar
I feel bad for him but his dad was a monster I think god was justed him beause of his father sins
Edward looks at bit like his grandfather Henry VII
An Ad a minute in? They're getting worse no soup for you.
I would have assumed the
🏰 *Tower Of London* 🏰
would just fall upon the boy.. 😳
I saw him in the supermarket last night buying cough medicine... He's not dead..
RIP EDWARD 6th died too soon aged 15yrs. 1537-1553
Edward had weirdly shaped low set of ears... a very soft form of Holoprosencephaly? Veryyyy soft as, as a whole it had way more awful visible deformities...
Did he have an oddly shaped head?
an adult at six is wild!
Anymore when I picture Edward ruling I picture Joffrey …
princess mary had bad eyesight as well'
Wonder if all the boy kings who died get to play together after death. Edward playing with King Tut!
Edward wasn't 'coronated', he was crowned!
@@starguy2718 Monarchs have a coronation, when they are crowned. Coronated is not a word,
@@anniec7801 great fact that thank you
"Defend this realm from papistry" 😂
Wouldn't Edward be born in 1537 bc Jane Seymour passed away in 1537?
Jane Seymour was
Edward 6th's mother.
She died shortly
after his birth.
Lady Jane Gray
was the relative
that Edward vi
named as his
successor. She
was overthrown
by Edward's older
sister, Mary 1st
(aka: Bloody Mary).
Very sad. However, it is certain that he would have persecuted Catholics just as Mary persecuted protestants. Would he have had Mary executed I wonder? Or would she have recanted her faith to save herself? How ironic that his mother was a Catholic. Would he have had his mother executed? What about all his Catholic ancestors? Strange what religion does to people.
If his mother was alive he would be raised as a catholic but with his mothers death! He was surrounded by protestants who molded him into protestanism!
Y was he so mean as he first got ill?
What R u like when very ill
Wouldn't it be fun to pop up out of a time vortex way back when, testify to the power and majesty of the mighty Cthulhu,perform a few micacles and vanish back into the vortex.Now that would be a good joke,and might be the reason for the CERN collider.
Already been done by *A Yank In The Court Of King Arthur*
If one could do that, they'd better make sure they have all there shots!
He looks like his father
a one man advert for vaccination
Paying for his fathers’ crimes
Poor kid
In my mind:why edward die he just lost her blood and he die????
Funny how this lot obsessed over God. It's ridiculous to think how their lives literally revolved around religion to the extent you got burnt at the stake etc. i know it's all relevant but I'm so happy we no longer think like this as a nation.
It still somewhat like that except burning people.
I think God was more of an excuse to do that terrible stuff.
@@whatsthatguydoin8603 Bad things done in the name of God.
Ah sure look at the liberals and science worshiping leftists, they're all part of a cult too. Perpetually offended, especially when it comes to religion and politics. Trust the science lol
By the way I'm not religious but I don't trust science as the truth and the way either....
@@BiG-JuPO1O1 exactly look at how the liberal control freaks are behaving..... their woke bullsh17 is another hateful religion...
All they had to do was take a bath he died from non bathing and filth the way many of them died soon after the plague hit same reason thinking and not bathing
He wasn't a good looking boy/man
There isn't any great painters
To show the true face of Edward
Arsonist did Edward in
Arsenic, you mean?
was probably the curse god put on them for betraying Catholicism for a divorce
Horrible narration.
Definitely an East End Cockney accent.
@@starguy2718 nah its not east end.
