The boy King, Edward VI of England, and a poor boy accidentally change places.

Edward is the King of England. He's also dying, which is inconvenient, as he's only sixteen and he'd much rather be planning for his first kiss than considering who will inherit his crown. Jane is Edward's cousin, and far more interested in books than in romance. Unfortunately for Jane, Edward has arranged to marry her off to secure the line of succession. And there's something a little odd about her intended, Gifford. He is a horse. Every day at dawn he becomes a noble chestnut steed - but then he wakes at dusk with a mouthful of hay. It's all very dignified.

Demonstrates how Edward III rebuilt both the prestige and power of the throne during his fifty year reign.
