Edward VI was the only son of Henry VIII who outlived his father. However, he was in poor health all his life, and he died in 1553 when he was only 16.

Henry VIII did have one other son who lived to grow up. This was Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond, his illegitimate son by Elizabeth Blount. He was born in 1519 and he died in 1536 at the age of 17. The King blamed his son's death on the witchcraft of Anne Boleyn, but probably nobody else believed this.
