[Music] one of the greatest tragedies of the chudah period was the death of Henry VI ap's son and Heir Edward I 6 the young chudah king had a horrific death inside of his Palace and he wasted away for months before his death then occurred but Henry VII quested greatly for his son and he wanted a male Heir more than anything and it was his third wife Jane Seymour who gave him this but shortly after giving birth to Edward v 6 in 1537 Jane died inside the walls of Hampton Court Palace but Edward did survive but the great hope for the chudah period did not last too long and he reigned for only a short number of years and he was dominated by a Regency Council meaning that Edward V 6th hardly had any impact on his Nation but what caused the death of Edward v 6 let's have a look at his postmortem now Edward was born on the 12th of October 1537 and the news of this male Heir being born to King Henry VII was met with huge amounts of Celebration across England and the nation had their greatly wanted male Heir there were many bonfires lit across England and there was also a huge amount of Celebration inside of churches but Jane Seymour the boy's mother looked to recover well initially from the birth despite a horrifically long labor but she fell ill on the 23rd of October and then died from what is believed to be postnatal complications this tinged the happiness of the birth of Edward and there was a lot of grief for the woman who gave the king his air Edward though was a healthy child and he was not always sickly but the King did love him greatly he was known for being a tall and positive child and as mentioned he was not ill at all the time and is often considered because he died of a young age Edward did have poor eyesight and he was known to wear glasses and he also was partially death but at some point however he did contract quartan fever or malaria that looked dangerous for him but he did manage to survive this he was given the best education and was very intelligent and he did get on well with his half sisters Mary and Elizabeth both of whom would later become Queens but Edward was also visited by other children to play he was dedicated to his education and he knew he was being prepared for kingship on the 1st of July 1543 Henry VII signed the Treaty of Greenwich which attempted to bring Scotland and England together in peace and this would have seen the betrothal of Edward to Mary Queen of Scots the seven-month-old Queen of Scotland but the Scots did not consent to this and they Allied themselves with the French against the English and Henry VII ordered a brutal Invasion and he ordered that Edward Seymour was to invade Scotland attack Edinburgh and then sack the nation and bring the people to heal the war of the rough woing was launched and this was a brutal sign of Henry VII's power on the 10th of January 1547 Edward wrote to his father to thank him for his new year's gifts but within a number of weeks his father would die inside of his Palace and Edward was then made King Henry VII passed away inside the Palace of whiteall and Edward was just nine when he was crowned as the king of England at Westminster Abbey and he was helped to rule by a Regency Council led by Edward Seymour his uncle who became the Lord protector of England and who was practically ruling as a king in his own right Edward's Reign saw a huge amount of further religious change as the nation became more Protestant and Edward did little himself but his ministers and advisers took this responsibility on themselves but by the end of Edward's Reign the church had been left destitute and much of the wealth was absorbed into the Royal coffers but Edward who was given the best care across England was regularly monitored by the Royal doctors and the best physicians Across the Nation and they were concerned about what he ate and also his health he was known to have been a well-fed and tall boy for his age but also it was claimed that he had a right shoulder much lower than his left and he may have had scoliosis of his spine a curvature of his spine as this could have been inherited through his maternal Uncle the Lord protector Edward Seymour however in 1550 Edward v 6 then was forced to take bed rest as he was struck by a mysterious illness and some of the doctors did not expect him to get better and they thought he would die but the news of this was kept quiet however the king did recover in the spring of 1550 2 Edward v 6 got sick again and he suffered from measles which was very dangerous and he later caught small pox as well he then met with an astrologer who documented his hearing and sight problems but then things in December of 1552 took a turn for the worst Edward v 6 showed signs of a very serious illness and disease and it was possible that he had contracted tuberculosis earlier in the year however the infection of measles could have suppressed his immune system and this allowed him to be further exposed to the infection and on the 15th of February 1553 it was known that the King was very sick with a fever and a cold and his sister Mary visited him and during this meeting the king could not get out of bed and he had a very serious cough some even believed that he could have been poisoned but things got much worse Edward the six symptoms were very complex and doctors tried to treat him and even an unknown woman or faith healer claimed that she could cure the king and when she gave him a potion the king almost died from this as his limbs began to swell heavily showing that this woman probably gave him something that he was allergic to but by the 17th of March 1553 things were going further downhill Edward I 6 was now very thin and gaunt and he was bedridden and the doctors considered moving him he was moved to Greenwich Palace and was taken down the river temps to recover in the fresh air and he did take walks inside of the palace Gardens but he was now coughing up blood which was coming from his chest and his lungs some predicted still though that Edward I 6 would get better and that he would make a full recovery but the doctors considered that he may have been suffering from a tumor or an abcess in his chest and lungs which was getting irritated also his stomach swelled and his body broke out in ulcers and sores and on the 17th of May he met with French ambassadors and they noted that the King was very weak his head also swelled and he was given opiates to get him to sleep but then Edward V 6th changed the succession to his first cousin Lady Jane gray to take the throne after him making sure that his Catholic Half Sister Mary did not take the throne after him and this would have ruined all of his work with the Reformation if she did on the 10th of June 1553 Edward I 6 was given just 3 Days to Live and he could not keep any food down and he also had a very bad fever on the 15th of June he had another intense fever and this got worse and he could not control his bowels and his legs were so swollen that he could not be moved Edward V 6th knew what was coming and his hair also fell out and his nails fell from his hands and feet it was a very painful demise on the 1 of July 1553 he was seen by the public for the last time at a window and he was known to have been very sick but in his final moments Sir Henry Sydney a loyal cour here was with him he could not speak and he prayed to God to deliver England away from Catholicism and he wanted to die as a Protestant on the 6th of July at around 8 in the evening in 1553 Edward v 6 died in the arms of Henry Sydney his final words were I am faint Lord have mercy upon me and take my spirit a number of doct doctors also witnessed his death and following this an autopsy did take place of the king's remains during the eming process his chest was cut open and the doctors peered inside and they found that the king had died from a lung condition or lung disease at a very young age they found that his lungs had two ulcers upon them which had become very infected and they were in a very bad way this leads to today a modern diagnosis that Edward v 6 died from tuberculosis which is also known today as TB at the time during the chudah period it was known as consumption and many ambassadors writing at the time documented that the king had this condition and that he suffered from this there was some debate that the king died from a pulmonary infection or from a lung abscess which had also led to septicemia and that had become infected it it was clear though that the king had suffered with issues with his lung and the coughing up blood and other symptoms he experienced were key and diagnosing tuberculosis Edward v 6 was buried on the 8th of August 1553 inside of Westminster Abbey he was interred inside of a burial vault in an unmarked grave and this was later marked with a gravestone and Memorial but the reign of Edward v 6 was a very short one and following a brief period of N9 days on the throne by his successor Lady Jane gray the reign of Bloody Mary the would begin in England thank you for watching and to support please subscribe to her
