With modern medicine and extended life expectancy monarchs are living longer and their children are getting old waiting for their turn to sit on the throne. Prince Charles is 71 years old and if he outlives his mother he will be the oldest person ever to inherit the British throne. But it was not always thus. In the middle ages the average life expectancy was just 31 years old. And with royals frequently fighting in wars that meant a lot of kings died young and left their thrones to very young children. Being a monarch wasn’t easy but being an adolescent monarch was often a recipe for disastrous. Older relatives and courtiers took advantage and teenage boys with nearly unlimited power resulted in some scandalous behavior. Here are the 10 youngest kings in English history:
10. Edgar the Peaceful
9. Eadwig
8. Edward III
7. Æthelred the Unready
6. Edward V
5. Edward the Martyr
4. Richard II
3. Edward VI
2. Henry III
1. Henry VI
