The council was first led by his uncle <a href="/wiki/Edward_Seymour,_Duke_of_Somerset" class="mw-redirect" title="Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset">Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset</a> (1547–1549), and then by <a href="/wiki/John_Dudley,_Duke_of_Northumberland" class="mw-redirect" title="John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland">John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland</a> (1550–1553). </p><p>Edward's reign was marked by many economic problems and social unrest that in 1549 erupted into riot and rebellion. An expensive <a href="/wiki/Rough_Wooing" title="Rough Wooing">war</a> with <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Scotland" title="Kingdom of Scotland">Scotland</a>, at first successful, ended with military withdrawal from Scotland and <a href="/wiki/Boulogne-sur-Mer" title="Boulogne-sur-Mer">Boulogne-sur-Mer</a> in exchange for peace. The transformation of the <a href="/wiki/Church_of_England" title="Church of England">Church of England</a> into a recognisably Protestant body also occurred under Edward, who took great interest in religious matters. His father, Henry VIII, had severed the link between the English Church and Rome but continued to uphold most <a href="/wiki/Catholic_theology" title="Catholic theology">Catholic doctrine</a> and ceremony. It was during Edward's reign that Protestantism was <a href="/wiki/State_religion" title="State religion">established</a> for the first time in England with reforms that included the abolition of <a href="/wiki/Clerical_celibacy" title="Clerical celibacy">clerical celibacy</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Mass_(liturgy)" title="Mass (liturgy)">Mass</a>, and the imposition of compulsory English in church services. </p><p>In 1553, at age 15, Edward fell ill. When his sickness was discovered to be terminal, he and his council drew up a "Devise for the Succession" to prevent the country's return to <a href="/wiki/Catholicism" class="mw-redirect" title="Catholicism">Catholicism</a>. Edward named his Protestant first cousin once removed, <a href="/wiki/Lady_Jane_Grey" title="Lady Jane Grey">Lady Jane Grey</a>, as his heir, excluding his half-sisters, <a href="/wiki/Mary_I_of_England" title="Mary I of England">Mary</a> and <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_I" title="Elizabeth I">Elizabeth</a>. This decision was disputed following Edward's death, and Jane was deposed by Mary - the elder of the two half-sisters - nine days after becoming queen. Mary, a Catholic, reversed Edward's Protestant reforms during her reign, but Elizabeth <a href="/wiki/Elizabethan_Religious_Settlement" title="Elizabethan Religious Settlement">restored them</a> in 1559. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_life">Early life</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Edward_VI&amp;action=edit&amp;section=1" title="Edit section: Early life"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Birth">Birth</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Edward_VI&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2" title="Edit section: Birth"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Hans_Holbein_the_Younger_-_Edward_VI_as_a_Child_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Painting of Prince Edward as a baby, depicted with regal splendour and a kingly gesture.
