What was the christian name of Henry VIII's only son?
Henry VIII's (1491 - 1547) only legitimate son was Edward (1537 - 1553), by Henry's third wife, Jane Seymour (c1504-09 to 1537). When Henry VIII died in 1547, he was succeeded by his son as Edward VI. Because Edward was only 9 years old at his father's death, his uncle Edward Seymour (Duke of Somerset) made himself protector and took control. Together with Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, Seymour was determined to make the country Protestant. An Act of Uniformity was proclaimed and a new English Prayer Book produced in 1549. There were some protests and rebellion against this, and the Earl of Warwick, John Dudley, put down the rebellions and was also involved in a power struggle with Edward Seymour, ultimately leading to Seymour's eventual arrest and execution. Dudley became the Duke of Northumberland and took control after Seymour's downfall. Edward VI was a rather sickly teenager, and it became apparent that he was suffering from tuberculosis and would not live very long. Northumberland seized his chance to persuade the king to name Lady Jane Grey (1537 - 1554), who was Northumberland's daughter in law, as his successor. Lady Jane Grey was descended from Henry VII the first Tudor king, through her grandmother, Princess Mary Rose Tudor, the younger sister of Henry VIII. But more importantly, Jane was Protestant, whereas the true successor, Mary Tudor, Henry VIII's oldest daughter, was a staunch Catholic. Edward VI died on 6 July 1553 and Jane Grey became queen for only 9 days, when support for Mary became increasingly apparent, as people wanted to see the rightful heir upon the throne. Lady Jane, her husband, father and father-in-law were all imprisoned and eventually executed under the reign of the new monarch, Mary I.

Dudley became the Duke of Northumberland and took control after Seymour's downfall. Edward VI was never very strong health wise, and it became apparent that he was suffering from tuberculosis and would not live very long.
