The Resume

    Birth name is Edward Tudor
    King of England & Ireland (January 28, 1547-July 6, 1553)

Why he might be annoying:

    At birth, he was titled Duke of Cornwall, but never became Prince of Wales.
    He was a very sickly child.
    His father, Henry VIII, left a Council of Regency to rule in Edward's name until he was 18.
    He died from either tuberculosis, arsenic poisoning, or syphilis (still debated).
    His death was kept a secret so that Lady Jane Grey could assume the throne.
    His successor was his half-sister Mary I (Bloody Mary!).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was England's first Protestant King.
    He suffered from congenital syphilis.
    At seven, he spoke Latin and by thirteen he spoke French and Greek.
