July 6 - The king is dead, long live the queen!

🕯️📜 On this day in Tudor history, 6th July 1553, fifteen-year-old King Edward VI lay dying at Greenwich Palace. In his final moments, he prayed for deliverance and for the protection of his kingdom from papistry. At 8-9 PM, he died in the arms of Sir Henry Sidney, uttering his last words, "I am faint; Lord have mercy upon me, and take my spirit."
Edward’s death led to the brief and tragic reign of Lady Jane Grey.
Join me as explore the poignant end of a young king and the dramatic aftermath. 🌿👑
