King Edward?

Question

Im reading Bloody Mary and I wanted to know if Edward was Mary's brother through katherine of aragon and Henry ?

Answer 1

Edward VI was Mary I's half-brother. Henry VIII had three children who survived him they were in order of age: Mary I - daughter of Catherine of Aragon, Elizabeth I - daughter of Anne Boleyn, Edward VI - Son of Jane Seymour. None of those children had full-siblings who survived their father. Edward VI  died at the age of 15, Mary at the age of 42 and Elizabeth at the age of 69.

Answer 2

yes King Edward VI is Queen Mary's brother,Henry VIII is their father but Edward's mom is Jane Seymour while Mary's mom is Catherine of Aragon,

Answer 3

Edward was Mary's half-brother and the son of Jane Seymour, as was Elizabeth her half-sister, daughter of Anne Boleyn.  Edward died very young (age 12?), so next was Mary who also died, and then Elizabeth (who was healthy) got the throne, also at a young age.

All Henry's machinations, and the throne passed on to the Stuarts after all!

Answer 4

Henry VIII had just one legitimate son, Prince Edward.  Born in October 1537, Edward was the fulfillment of his father's tangled marital history.  Henry had ended his marriages to Katharine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn when they failed at the most important queenly duty, each woman bearing a healthy princess but no surviving prince.  Jane Seymour, the king's third wife, was luckier.  She ensured the king's lasting affection when she gave birth to Edward, but she died soon afterwards of puerperal sepsis.  The infant prince was the only male Tudor heir of his generation; he had two sisters and Henry VIII's sisters Mary and Margaret had several daughters.  If Edward died, the throne would pass to a woman and the Tudor dynasty would end.  Accordingly, King Henry did all he could to protect his son's health; the infant prince lived in safe seclusion until his father wed Katharine Parr.  Henry's last wife became a beloved mother to Edward and he adopted the zealous Protestantism which she championed.  He also grew close to his half-sister Elizabeth, with whom he shared a household for some years.  His older half-sister, Mary, was an equally zealous Catholic; her religion and the vast difference in their ages prevented a close relationship.  Edward became king at the age of 10, but he was a mere figurehead.  His Seymour uncles battled with and ultimately lost the Protectorship to the ambitious John Dudley, duke of Northumberland.  During his brief reign, Edward demonstrated impressive piety and intelligence.  But his potential would never be realized.  He died an agonizing death at 15, possibly from a combination of tuberculosis and the measles.  Northumberland had persuaded him to leave the throne to his Protestant cousin, Lady Jane Grey.  This decision begat one of the most tragic tales of Tudor England.
