It was not until Henry's death in 1547 and the accession of Edward VI that revision could proceed faster.

Henry VIII died in 1547 ; Elizabeth's half-brother, Edward VI became king at age nine.

He died in January 1547 at the age of 55 and was succeeded by his son, Edward VI.

Although he showed piety and intelligence, Edward VI was only nine years old when he took the throne in 1547.

His uncle, Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset tampered with Henry VIII's will and obtained letters patent giving him much of the power of a monarch by March 1547.

In 1547, after the death of Henry VIII, forces under the English regent Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset were victorious at the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh, the climax of the Rough Wooing, and followed up by the occupation of Haddington.

* Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset was ' Lord Protector ' ( 1547 – 1549 ), during the early years of the reign of the young Edward VI

Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, KG, ( c. 1500 – 22 January 1552 ) was Lord Protector of England during the minority of his nephew King Edward VI ( 1547 – 1553 ), in the period between the death of Henry VIII in 1547 and his own indictment in 1549.

Upon the death of Henry VIII ( 28 January 1547 ), Seymour's nephew became king as Edward VI.

In March 1547, he secured letters patent from King Edward granting him the almost monarchical right to appoint members to the Privy Council himself and to consult them only when he wished.

In April 1547, using Edward ’ s support to circumvent Somerset ’ s opposition, Thomas Seymour secretly married Henry VIII's widow Catherine Parr, whose Protestant household included the 11-year-old Lady Jane Grey and the 13-year-old Princess Elizabeth.

* Edward VI of England, ( 1547 – 1553 )

The reign of Edward VI though short ( 1547 – 1553 ) was numismatically important for seeing the introduction of new denominations — the silver crown, half crown, shilling, Sixpence, and Threepence — which were to survive until 1971, and which were a reflection of the increasing wealth of the country.

This statute was repealed by Henry's son, Edward VI, in 1547.

The three pence coin – expressed in writing as " 3d " – first appeared in England during the fine silver coinage of King Edward VI ( 1547 – 1553 ), when it formed part of a set of new denominations.

England had been, less than 200 years previously, a Catholic ( Big-Endian ) country ; but a series of reforms beginning in the 1530s under King Henry VIII ( ruled 1509-1547 ), Edward VI ( 1547 – 1553 ), and Queen Elizabeth I ( 1558 – 1603 ) had converted most of the country to Protestantism ( Little-Endianism ), in the episcopalian form of the Church of England.

He was next sent to Court as Gentleman of the Chapel Royal in 1543 ( which later became a Protestant establishment ), where he composed and performed for Henry VIII, Edward VI ( 1547 – 1553 ), Queen Mary ( 1553 – 1558 ), and Queen Elizabeth I ( 1558 until Tallis died in 1585 ).

The reformed Anglican liturgy was inaugurated during the short reign of Edward VI ( 1547 – 53 ), and Tallis was one of the first church musicians to write anthems set to English words, although Latin continued to be used.

Only under Henry's son Edward VI ( reigned 1547 – 1553 ) did the first major changes in parish activity take place, including translation and thorough revision of the liturgy along more Protestant lines.
