When Henry VIII died, his son Edward was crowned king at just nine years of age! King Edward VI ruled for a meagre 6 years before his death in 1553.
Upon his death bed, the young monarch chose Lady Jane Grey as his heir over his half sisters; Mary and Elizabeth. Naturally this choice did not go down well and Lady Jane only ruled for nine days before Mary gave orders for her execution at the Tower of London.
The thrown then passed to Mary I and after her, Elizabeth I (the last Tudor monarch).

Who was Henry VIII and Jane Seymour's son?
Their son, Edward, became King of England after Henry VIII died, being his only legitimate living male heir. He died soon after, at the age of 16, which led to chaos. Some of his advisors conviced the very Protestant Edward that if his oldest sister Mary, who was next in line for the throne, became queen, she would restore Catholicism to England, so they got Edward to put Jane Grey into the line of succession before he died. She famously ruled for a few days before being executed by Mary (Henry VIII's first child with his first wife Katharine of Aragon) who is better known as "Bloody Mary." After her death, Elizabeth, Henry VIII's second child by his second wife, Anne Boleyn, became Queen and led England into a very successful period.
