King Edward VII History
Born in 1841, Edward VII would wait a long time to become King. His mother, Queen Victoria, ruled for the second longest period in British history (recently overtaken by Elizabeth II). By the time he ascended the throne he was 59 years old and already had a reputation for a decadent, high-society lifestyle.
As King he used his relationship and education to foster relations across Europe, eventually being known as the ‘Uncle of Europe’. Political clashes between Conservatives and Liberals would mar the last few years of his life and would not be resolved until after his death.
Edward died in May 1910, aged 68. As a regular smoker, Edward increasingly suffered from Bronchitis as he neared the end of his life. On the day of his death he suffered from several heart attacks but refused to rest, being quoted as saying: “No, I shall not give in; I shall go on; I shall work to the end.” The crown passed to his second son, George V.
