· His father had arranged that a council of regency should rule on his behalf, but Edward's uncle, Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset, took power and established himself as protector.
· Henry’s last wife became a beloved mother to Edward and he adopted the zealous Protestantism which she championed. He also grew close to his half-sister Elizabeth, with whom he shared a household for some years.
· Henry VIII married Jane Seymour in shocking haste and, when she died less than two years later, he sought another wife immediately afterwards. This evident dislike of bachelorhood was a cornerstone of Henry’s adult life. But it shouldn’t imply that he didn’t grieve for Jane.
