Edward VI + religion

[telamon2011]

What many do not understand is that Edward VI, along with Catherine Parr and Lady Jane Grey, were nutty evangelicals who would be compared to the holy rollers of today. There was nothing tolerant about them, as they believed in persecuting Anglicans and Presbyterians as well as Catholics. It should also be noted that Edward sought to disinherit both Mary AND Elizabeth, the latter whose Protestantism he thought was not radical enough.

I really like Edward VI -- there's much about his father and half-sisters, but he himself always intrigued me. In Alison Weir's The Children of Henry VIII, he was portrayed to be led by ambitious men -- none of which excluded his Seymour relatives and the religious zealots who used him as a tool for the Reformation.

I think if he had managed to reach his full-fledged majority that Edward would have been a great king, easily surpassing Henry in matters of state.

Edward VI is my favorite as well. I am looking for more stuff on him. What did the woman who met him, say about him audie83. I have always been curious.  I would have loved to have met him.

I'm going from memory. I seem to recall Edward got separated from his hunting party when he came upon the little girl somewhere in the forest. I'm trying to recall her name but it's not come to me yet. I can only vaguely recall (I was a child when I read the bio!) that she was impressed by Edward-enough to remember him a hundred years later. It seems she told the tale often. She apparently gave the lost young monarch directions to get back to his party.:)

[audie83]

I feel for young Edward VI-he really never had a chance to make his mark. Thank you for posting this-he is one of my favorite Tudors. I read in a bio of his life once that a hundred years after his death an old woman remembered meeting him during a hunt where he had gotten lost and asked her directions-she was a little girl at the time. :)

[Hippodameia]

Really? That sounds interesting! Where did you read about it?

[audie83]

I can't recall the title but I'm sure it was something along the lines of 'Edward VI Boy King'. Someone on another site mentioned the woman's name but I can't remember the name! I'm trying to recall which video commentary it was on. I'll get back to you if I find it. She's probably mentioned somewhere on one of the Tudor sites on the net also.
