king of the UK + british dominions
emperor of india
(1901 – 1910)
first monarch from the house of saxe-coburg and gotha (which was renamed the “house of windsor” by his son george V)
before his accession to the throne, edward held the title of “prince of wales” and was heir apparent to the throne for longer than anyone else in history.
during the long widowhood of his mother queen victoria, he was largely excluded from political power and came to personify the fashionable leisured elite.
the edwardian era (which covered edward’s reign and was named after him) coincided with the start of a new century and heralded significant changes in technology and society (including powered flight and the rise of socialism + the labour movement).
edward played a role in the modernization of the “british home fleet”, the reform of the “army medical services”, and the re-organization of the british army after the “second boer war”.
he fostered good relations between great britain and other european countries (especially france) for which he was popularly called “peacemaker”
his relationship with his nephew (wilhelm II of germany) was poor.
he suspected that wilhelm would precipitate a war.
and four years after edward’s death, WWI brought an end to the edwardian way of life.
