Entry in Edward VI's autograph diary recording the death of his father, King Henry VIII, 1547. Edward VI reveals in the first page of his diary as King, that he and his sister Elizabeth learnt of their father's death from his uncle Edward Seymour, Earl of Hertford, at Elizabeth's Enfield residence on 30 January 1547. Although he writes that it caused great grief in London, he reveals nothing of his personal feelings. He describes the Privy Council's choice of Edward Seymour as Protector and Governor of the King's Person and mentions how his father's officers broke their staffs of office and threw them into Henry's grave at his burial
