By Stephen Alford
This e-book is a reconstruction of the kingship and politics of the 3rd Tudor king of britain, Edward VI (born 1537), who reigned among 1547 (from the age of 9) till his dying in 1553. The reign has frequently been interpreted as a interval of political instability, often as a result king's age. This publication explores how the reign used to be remarkably strong; and in addition how, in the course of the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603) the Edwardian notion of what it was once to be a monarch--and a number of the related males who had served Edward VI as councillors and courtiers--dominated Tudor politics.

Sometimes it has been difficult for historians to take the reign seriously because of its reputation for faction or rapacity, but this is an issue of historiography rather than history. The profound limitations of the historiography are thrown into dramatic silhouette by the depth and sophistication of Edwardian political culture – at times too sophisticated, falling short of the practical realities of minority monarchy, but rich and diverse nevertheless, conscious of the potential of kingship both in theory and in practice.
The scriptural foundation for Hooper’s seven sermons ( February– April) was the Book of Jonah, which describes the eventual success of a flawed man, the preacher Jonah, in convincing the people of the Assyrian metropolis of Ninevah of the desperate need for their repentance. In his second sermon, on February, Hooper preached on the nature of vocation, and used his text to explore ‘the office of the kyngs magestye, hys councell, and al his Magistrates’ in seeing ‘the true boke of God the holye Byble to be tawghte and receyved of hys magesties subjects’ as a protection against idolatry.

Pollard, The history of England from the accession of Edward VI to the death of Elizabeth (–) (London, ), pp. –. ‘Government’ is the key word here. For many historians, the true test of the maturity of Edward’s kingship was whether it could accommodate itself to the formal processes of government administration. Edward had to be introduced to established structures of a bureaucracy and a government that could operate with or without his direct supervision.
