What do you know about Edward VI and his short reign, so often overshadowed by the towering figures of his father, Henry VIII and his sister, Elizabeth I and to a lesser extent, by his sister Mary? Edward is often overlooked, viewed as a sickly boy king, manipulated by his nobles and a mere chess piece in the contemporary battles of religion and succession. The occasional rumour of death by arsenic poisoning gets some circulation, but not often, and Jane Grey, queen for just a few days after Edward's death, is a much better known figure in the popular imagination.
