5. King Edward VI Mommy was Henry VIII’s 3 rd wife: Jane Seymour (died giving birth) He was raised Protestant (like Daddy) Took power when Henry died at age 10 in 1547 Died at 16 from tuberculosis He never wanted his sisters to rule so he picked Lady Jane Grey as his heir making his sister, Mary, furious Mary’s supporters get Grey out of office in 9 days and turn the crown to her…A CATHOLIC YIKES!!

6. Queen Mary I (Bloody Mary) Mommy was Henry’s 1 st wife Raised Catholic and spent lots of her childhood in Spain (get it? A Catholic country!!) 1553 became queen after her half brother dies and marries in 1554 King Philip II of Spain (joins two powerful countries together) British Parliament (government) won’t acknowledge Philip as leader so he is just a figurehead She thinks she is pregnant but actually has a cancerous tumor growing (gross…we know!) Gets her “bloody” name for persecuting Protestants, actually burning 300 at the stake She dies in 1558 without naming an heir so her half sister becomes queen even though Mary never wanted this to happen
