He died of tuberculosis at the age of 16 after a long illness. At the insistence of John Dudley, the first Duke of Northumberland, he appointed Lady Jane Gray, the great-granddaughter of Henry VII, as his heiress, excluding his older sisters, Mary and Elizabeth, from the circle of applicants. However, the people did not accept Lady Jane. Her reign lasted only nine days, after which she and her family, as well as John Dudley, were arrested on charges of high treason. Maria became the queen.
