Edward V of England

Edward V was King of England from 9 April to 25 June 1483. He succeeded his father, Edward IV, upon the latter's death. Edward V was never crowned, and his brief reign was dominated by the influence of his uncle and Lord Protector, the Duke of Gloucester, who deposed him to reign as King Richard III; this was confirmed by the Titulus Regius, an act of Parliament which denounced any further claims through Edward IV's heirs by delegitimising Edward V and all of his siblings. This act was later repealed by parliament under Henry VII, who married Elizabeth of York, Edward V's eldest sister.
