What great-granddaughter of an English King fell victim to the axe because she had been used in a Queen-maker's game?

Lady Jane Grey? Lady Frances was the daughter of Princess Mary, the younger sister of Henry VIII, and was thus the first cousin of Edward VI. Jane had two younger sisters, Lady Katherine Grey and Lady Mary Grey; through their mother, the three sisters were members of the House of Tudor: great-granddaughters of Henry VII and grandnieces of Henry VIII. Jane could claim descent twice from 15th century Royal consort Elizabeth Woodville; paternally through Woodville's first husband, Sir John Grey of Groby, and maternally through her second husband King Edward IV. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Grey Jun 10 09, 2:06 AM
