These were the children of Henry VIII of England in order of their birth. In the royal secession boys always inherited first followed by the oldest daughter, so it went Edward, Mary, then Elizabeth. Edward tried to change his fathers will before he died so his crown wouldn't pass to a Catholic so between Eward and Mary is Jane Grey who ruled as Queen of England for 9 days because of a plot her father, father-in-law, and husband forced her into.

Mary Tudor, later Mary I, his daughter by his first wife Catherine of Aragon, whom he was married to for over 15 years before divorcing in 1533. Mary was emphatically Catholic like her mother, burning over 300 protestants at the stake, and favored her mother's native land of Spain.

Elizabeth Tudor, later Elizabeth I, his daughter by his second wife Anne Boleyn, whom he was in love with for over 6 years before marrying her in 1533. He had her executed in 1536 on trumped up charges of adultery to make way for his third wife. Elizabeth was protestant like her mother and favored French fashions and trends, her mother spent most of her childhood in France.

Edward Tudor, Prince of Wales, later Edward VI, his son by his favorite wife Jane Seymour who he married 11 days after the death of his previous wife. Jane died about a week after giving birth to the King's only legitimate-and at the point only-son. Edward was emphatically protestant and worked to promote his religion throughout his rein but was mostly a puppet king to his advisors since he accended to the throne when he was only 9 and died when he was 15.
