What are the major events that summarize The Prince and the Pauper?

The major important events will differ slightly from reader to reader, but I will list out (in no particular order) some of the events that I believe are crucial to the story as a whole.

  • Tom and Edward are both born. They are born to different families, but have a striking resemblance. Tom is poor, and Edward is rich. 

  • Tom goes to the palace, is attacked by a guard, and is invited into the palace by Edward.

  • Tom and Edward decide to swap places for a bit, but Edward winds up being kicked out of the palace by mistake.

  • John Canty kills Father Andrew.

  • King Henry VIII dies. 

  • Tom begins ending Henry's reign of terror by pardoning people. 

  • Edward is captured by John Canty and his gang . . . several times.

  • Miles Hendon saves Edward . . . several times. 

  • Tom and Edward are reunited and convince everybody that they did indeed switch places. Edward is made king, and he gives Miles and Tom royal titles and makes them rich.
