Edward VI: References & Edit History

Additional Reading

The best recent biography is Jennifer Loach, Edward VI, ed. by George Bernard and Penry Williams (1999); but Diarmaid MacCulloch, Tudor Church Militant (1999; also published as The Boy King, 2001), is a more penetrating look at the king as well as the reign.
