The English (and Welsh) king Edward 6th was Protestant (not Catholic). He was brought up as a Protestant, and tried to change religion in England to this when he was in pow3er ( at the age of nine!!) :-O
He was the son of Henry VIII (of 6 wives fame), who turned from Roman Catholic to Protestant while trying to divorce his first wife.
Edward had two older sisters (the Catholic Mary and the Protestant Elizabeth I, of whom you might have heard).
Because boys inherited the crown first, Edward 6th became king on the death of Henry 8th. He was a sickly youth, and died after a few years at the age of 15, to be succeeded by Mary.

∙ 13y agoEdward VI, boy-king and heir of his father Henry VIII, was a passionate Protestant who hated Catholicism and worked very hard to get rid of it in England.
Edward disregarded his father's will and named his cousin Jane Grey as his heir to prevent his Catholic older sister Mary from becoming Queen. This attempt failed, and Mary I was crowned in 1553.
