Everything about the Third Succession Act totally explained
The
Third Succession Act of
Henry VIII's reign was passed by the
Parliament of England in mid-1543, and returned both
Mary and
Elizabeth to the line of the succession behind
Prince Edward. The Act was formally titled the
Succession to the Crown Act 1543 (citation
35 Hen. VIII c.1), or the
Act of Succession 1543; it's often incorrectly dated 1544. The Act superseded the
First Succession Act and the
Second Succession Act, which had left
Prince Edward the only heir to the throne. It returned both of Henry's daughters
Mary and
Elizabeth to the line of succession, behind Edward, any potential children of his, and any potential children of Henry by his current wife
Catherine Parr.
Edward VI attempted to ignore the Act in his will by naming
Lady Jane Grey as his successor in place of Mary. However this failed and Mary took her rightful place on the throne as ordained by the Act.
