What the title says. I've always felt such sympathy for Mary I because of how her life ended up. Losing her mother and being tossed aside by her father, fighting with both her siblings later in life and finally being vilified throughout history for a few bad choices. So lets say Edward VI died in early 1549. That would be before the book of common prayer was introduced so when Mary ascended the throne there would be less religious infighting. Also she would be 33 instead of 37 when she came to the throne, thus making it more likely that she would have children. So what would be the longer term ramifications of Edward Vi dieing earlier? Would England still be Catholic? Would Scotland stay independent? Would England still become a great empire?
