Who became the monarch after the death of George Boleyn?
Mary I
Elizabeth I
Edward VI
James I
Answer
Edward VI succeeded to the English throne upon the death of King Henry VIII, not George Boleyn. George Boleyn was the brother of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second wife who was executed in 1536. As Henry VIII had no surviving legitimate sons at the time of his death in 1547, the throne passed to his eldest surviving child, Edward, who was only nine years old.
