My Uncle Seymour looks after me, I will be King one day when Father dies and Uncle will guide me in all matters of politics. My Mother was Fathers greatest love and I was born out of love which gives me a good feeling about my parents. I never saw my Mother, I was only 13 days old when she died, my Father blames himself for the loss of his love. My two sisters are nice but Mary sometimes is mean, I think because she was ordered to look after me when I was very young. She had lost her title of Princess, as did Elizabeth my other sister, to become plain Lady Mary. I think she blames me in some way for that. Elizabeth is always kind and nice with me, she plays and tells me stories about her life and she write poetry to read to me, I must say she is my favourite sister.
I am ill at times, I cough a lot and everybody gets worried in case I die, all because I am the next in line for the throne and will keep the Tudor name going. I think my illness is because of the cold weather and damp places where I live, that’s all really. Uncle Seymour is a Protestant really, he pretends to be a good Church of England Catholic like Father, but he believes the church to be corrupt and follows the teachings of Martin Luther. I many ways I think Uncle is right, I like the idea of a church for the people, not the people for the church and quietly agree with him. I’m not sure what will happen with the Church of England when I become its leader, Uncle Seymour tells me that I will make it more popular than ever because he has a plan to incorporate the Protestant views into the Catholic way. I hope Mary doesn’t get mad about this idea, I know Elizabeth will be OK with it.
I met my cousins last week, my favourite one was Jane Grey, she was so nice but seemed to be dominated by her Father and his brother, always telling her what to do. Jane is the granddaughter of my Fathers sister and so cold be in line for the throne, but after my Sisters of course. Jane also is a Protestant so that would cause problems too. Take it from me, it is not easy being a Tudor, it can be very dangerous and politics play an very important part of my life.
I must go now, Uncle Seymour is looking for me and wants to talk about being my guardian in case Father dies soon and I am not old enough to make big decisions as King. I’m sure Father is going to be OK, and in any case Uncle Seymour is a clever man and the country would be safe in his hands.

Thank you for reading my letter to the Editor.

Prince Edward Tudor
London 1546

A Boy At last
By Henry Tudor


I cannot survive they tell me now
The blood in my body
Has poisoned my soul
I must pray now for my life will end
My son, our son, lives
That’s how it will end.

My Henry he sobs for he loves me so
Our son will give help
Our family will grow
My country will have a future King
This boy will give comfort
The love he will bring.

His Sisters will love him so much
His father will dote
My Edward, our Edward
Will grow and be great
His future is set
There is no fate.

A Mother for only Twelve days
A wife for only a year
Our son is the fruit of our love
My man’s health I now fear
I cannot stay, I must go now
Goodbye, wipe your tear
Our son will comfort the pain
Your love, your wife, your Jane
