Edward VI. King of England & France and Ireland (1784)

Edward VI (12 October 1537 6 July 1553) was King of England and Ireland from 28 January 1547 until his death in 1553. He was crowned on 20 February 1547 at the age of nine.[1] Edward was the son of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour and the first English monarch to be raised as a Protestant.[2] During his reign, the realm was governed by a regency council because he never reached maturity. The council was first led by his uncle Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset (15471549), and then by John Dudley, 1st Earl of Warwick (15501553), who from 1551 was Duke of Northumberland. Hans Holbein the Younger (der Jüngere) (Augsburg, Holy Roman Empire, 1497?1-London, between October 7 and November 29, 1543) was a German painter, engraver and printer who falls within the style called Nordic Revival. He is best known as one of the 16th-century masters of portraiture. He also produced religious art, satire, and reformist propaganda, and made a significant contribution to the history of book design. He designed woodcuts, stained glass windows and pieces of jewelry. He is called "the Younger" to differentiate him from his father, Hans Holbein the Elder, a gifted painter of the late Gothic school.
