Edward VII ( Albert Edward) (b. 9 Nov. 1841, d. 6 May 1910). King of Great Britain and Ireland and Dependencies Overseas, Emperor of India 1901–10 Born in Sandringham, Norfolk, the second child of Queen Victoria. He waited many years to become King, and when he did so, he refurbished many of the monarchy's ceremonial aspects. He also asserted his right to be consulted over political decisions. His claims were disregarded by Prime Ministers, but he did have a role in foreign affairs. Many saw him as influential in securing the
Entente Cordiale and the
Anglo-Russian Entente, through his influence on European royal families and dignitaries.
