∙ 14y agoBefore he died, Edward VI was persuaded to name the Protestant Lady Jane Grey (1537 - 1554) as his successor, because the true heir to the throne, his eldest sister Mary, was a staunch Roman Catholic. Jane was a great grandaughter of the first Tudor king, Henry VII, through her grandmother Princess Mary Rose Tudor, the younger sister of Henry VIII. Four days after Edward died (6 July 1553), and promoted by her fiercely ambitious father in law, the Protestant Duke of Northumberland, Jane, just a pawn in a power game, was proclaimed Queen. However there was surprisingly popular support for Mary Tudor and soon it was clear that Jane was not going to be able to hold on to the throne and so she was persuaded, by her father, to step down, leaving a 9 days reign behind her. Mary I took her rightful position as Queen, and Jane and her supporters were arrested, eventually tried for treason and executed. Jane and her husband, Guildford Dudley, were beheaded on 12 February 1554.

∙ 11y agoLady Jane Grey was only Queen for nine days because someone took over
It was Mary Tudor who ousted her from the throne, because she felt she had a stronger claim to be monarch than Jane did. This is probably actually true, but Tudor was very brutal about it, having Lady Jane imprisoned in the Tower of London for a year before having her and her husband beheaded on 15th February 1554 on a (probably trumped-up) charge of treason. Lady Jane was never crowned, and was only 17 when she died.

Edward died on 6 July 1553, and four days later, Jane was proclaimed queen.

Who was lady Jane Grey's lady in waiting?
Lady Jane Grey was Queen of England for nine days in 1553; she was quickly replaced by Mary Tudor and beheaded for treason (1537-1554). •Lady Jane Grey was born in October,1537, at her home in Bradgate Park. •The exact date of her birth is unknown but it is believed that she was born sometime before her cousin Edward VI, who was born on 12th October. •Her parents were Henry Grey and Frances Brandon. •Jane had two younger sisters called Katherine and Mary. •Jane was educated at Hatfield by tutors from Cambridge and learned to read and speak Italian, Greek and French. •Jane was English and she was also a devout protestant. •Jane married Guildford Dudley in 1553 at the same place as two other couples, her younger sister Katherine to Lord Herbert, and Catherine Dudley, daughter of the Northumberlands to Lord Hastings, son of the Earl of Huntingdon. Jane didn't want to marry Guildford but she was forced to. • Jane is most famous for being 'Queen for nine days'. After just over a week on the throne she and her husband were imprisoned in the Tower of London by Mary I, Henry the VIII and Catherine of Aragon's daughter, a Catholic, who then became Queen. • Jane and Guildford were both executed on the 12th February 1554. •She was buried in St Peter-ad-Vincula, Tower of London Jane is known as the 'Queen for nine days' because she was only on the throne for, well, nine days. When Edward VI was dying, the Northumberlands realised that if Edward died then Mary I would be heir to the throne. So they made Guildford, their son, marry Lady Jane Grey. Then they persuaded Edward VI to make Jane, and any male children she might have, successors to the Crown. This made Mary angry because Henry VIII had said that if Edward died, she would be the rightful heir to the throne. On July 6, 1553, Edward died and Lady Jane Grey was declared Queen. Mary, who was furious, gathered her forces to try and get the throne back. On July 19, Mary, who had won the fight for power, was declared new Queen of England, after Jane had had just nine short days being queen. Jane was imprisoned and later executed. On 11th February 1554, Jane was told that she would die the following morning. It was on this same day that Dr Feckenham, Mary's chaplain, visited Jane to give her the opportunity to convert to Catholicism before she died. Jane told him, 'I am ready to face death patiently' All that she wanted, was peace to get herself ready for death. Feckenham thought that Jane didn't want to convert to Catholicism because there was so little time to. He reported this to the Queen who gave Jane and Guildford three days reprieve. When Feckenham told Jane the news she said 'Alas, sir! I did not intend what I said to be reported to the Queen. I will gladly suffer death since it is Her Majesty's pleasure...Let me make my peace with God.' He asked that she may allow him to accompany her to the scaffold. She agreed to this. It was decided that Guildford would be executed on Tower Hill and Jane within the Tower. On 11 February Guildford requested the right to meet with Jane. Mary consented, adding that she hoped it would be of some consolation to them both. When word was sent to Jane, she refused, replying that, 'it would disturb the holy tranquillity with which they had prepared themselves for death.' Around 10 o'clock on the morning of 12 February, Jane watched from her window as her husband was led to Tower Hill. She was still at the window when his body was brought back into the Tower, Shortly before 11 o'clock she was collected by the Lieutenant of the Tower. Jane then made her way to the scaffold, clutching Brydges arm. People of the Guard surrounded the wooden structure that had been erected the day before. At the scaffold, Jane was met by Dr Feckenham, along with several other Tower chaplains. Jane recited the fifty-first psalm in English. Jane then gave her gloves and handkerchief to her lady-in-waiting, Mrs Ellen, and handed her prayer book to Sir John Brydges. Jane tied the handkerchief around her eyes. Unable to locate the block, she became anxious, 'Where is it? What shall I do? Where is it?' she asked, her voice faltering. Those who were watching seemed unsure of what to do. Then, one of them climbed the scaffold and helped her to the block. Her last words were, 'Lord, into thy hands I commend my spirit.'
