The ''First Book of Common Prayer'' was introduced under his reign (1549). He died of [[consumption]] when he was 15. Reports vary if he was always in poor health or if he merely got sick and died. He was succeeded by his older half-sister [[Mary I]], a Roman Catholic, known to her Protestant enemies as "Bloody Mary".
