Edward VI was King of England and Ireland from 28 January 1547 until his death. He was crowned on 20 February at the age of nine. Edward was the son of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, and England's first monarch to be raised as a Protestant. During his reign, the realm was governed by a Regency Council because he never reached his majority. The Council was first led by his uncle Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, and then by John Dudley, 1st Earl of Warwick, from 1551 Duke of Northumberland.

Warwick's government which made the first serious attempt at ending the monetary chaos which had cost the country so dear. Since 1549 when Somerset had further debased the coinage its value was more rapidly falling than ever before and in May 1551 the exchange value was fifteen shillings Flemish.
At home the prices were twice as high as in 1547 and the Government's efforts resulted only in driving goods from the general to the black market Increasing production costs were already checking exports and over-production threatened. But the "loan" changed to a burst and between May and August 1551 the government carried out fifty percent devaluation of coinage by calling coins down into half their face value.
