Edward VI. was the son of Henry the VIII. of England & his third wife, Jane Seymour who died right after Edward was born, probably of childbirth complications. Edward had two half sisters. Mary I. (Bloody Mary), who followed Edward on the throne of England & who was Henry's daughter by Katherine of Aragon (Henry's 1st wife; she was divorced) and Elizabeth I. who followed Mary

on the throne & was the daughter of Henry's second wife, Anne Boleyn, who was beheaded. Edward did not have anymore living or legitimate siblings. However, there were numerous Tudor cousins and the brothers of Jane Seymour, uncles Edward and Thomas, played significant roles in his life. After Henry, Edward Seymour was the biggest influence on Edward's life and reign.

Edward VI. died in 1553 at the age of 15; He had no wife or known issue.
