King Edward VI of England is described as being as staunchly loyal to Protestantism as his sister, Mary, was staunchly loyal to Catholicism. Assuming he avoids or survives the illness that killed him IOTL and still marries Elisabeth of Valois, he would have been around during the start of the French Wars of Religion between the Catholics and the Huguenots.
Basically, would being married into the French royal family have stopped Edward from giving aid to the Huguenots? Personally, the only things I could see him getting out of joining would be:
1. A souring of relations and trade between England and France.
2. The loss of Calais.
3. Any expelled Huguenots.
4. A strain on the treasury.
