King of England and Ireland 1547 until his death in 1553, who took the throne at the age of nine: during his reign, the realm was governed by a regency council due to his young age. When he fell sick with a terminal illness at age 15, a succession plan was drawn up to prevent the country's return to Catholicism, resulting in the eventual proclamation of Lady Jane Grey as queen. Large and neat ink signature, "Edward,” on a long off-white vellum slip cut from the top of a manuscript document, folded to 10.75 x 2. In very good to fine condition, with scattered staining and soiling. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.
Because of his young age and early death, King Edward VI's autograph takes a place among the rarest of all English royalty. This is just the third Edward VI autograph we have ever offered.
