Excerpt from England Under the Reigns of Edward Vi. And Mary, Vol. 1 of 2: With the Contemporary History of Europe, Illustrated in a Series of Original Letters Never Before Printed, With Historical Introductions and Biographical and Critical Notes Upon this point, of retaining or dismissing the antique dress of historical documents, much has been written; and there are scholars, for whose opmlon the Author has sincere respect, who will think such an innovation almost equivalent to a literary felony. But, without entering into detail, he must say that after serious consideration, and long familiarity with ancient letters in every variety of orthography, he has not been able to discover in what possible way their historical value is injured by the change.

It is a subject which, equally with the history Of his first troubles and deposition, is involved in much Obson rity, and upon which historians have formed very contrary Opinions. Was he guilty or innocent Of the crimes for which he was arraigned and brought to the scaffold? In reply to this question, Hume, after having consulted the best printed authorities, and evidently guided in his Opinion by the narra tive of Burnet and Carte, exculpates him.

This book offers a reappraisal of the kingship and politics of the reign of Edward VI, the third Tudor king of England who reigned from the age of nine in 1547 until his death in 1553. The reign has often been interpreted as a period of political instability, mainly because of Edward's age, but this account challenges the view that the king's minority was a time of political faction. It shows how Edward was shaped and educated from the start for adult kingship, and how Edwardian politics evolved to accommodate a maturing and able young king. The book also explores the political values of the men around the king, and tries to reconstruct the relationships of family and association that bound together the governing elite in the king's Council, his court, and in the universities. It also assesses the impact of Edward's reign on Elizabethan politics.

This book describes the membership, business and procedure of the privy council during the minority of Henry VIII's son successor, Edward VI. It examines the policy-making, administrative and quasi-judicial functions of the central institution of Tudor government at a time of war, rebellion, financial instability, reform in the Church and potentially violent political change. Professor Hoak analyses the way in which, through the council - a body whose formal existence dated only from 1540 - the dukes of Somerset and Northumberland successively governed the realm in the effective absence of a king. He sheds light on the nature of Somerset's failure, Northumberland's purpose and achievements, as well as on the techniques by which he controlled both the king and council, and the politics of the Reformation in England at the moment of the Protestant's triumph, 1549-50. The book demonstrates the extent to which the Edwardian privy council confirmed and continued earlier 'revolutionary' reform in government; it establishes the uniqueness of the place of Edward's council in the history of Tudor government and of royal councils generally in the sixteenth-century Europe.
