Lady Jane Grey, Queen of England (1537–1554) Lady Jane Grey was Queen of England for just Nine Days from Monday 10th July 1553 to Wednesday 19th July 1553. Edward V a devout Protestant and Henry VIII's only son, died of tuberculosis and he left the throne to 'the Lady Jane and her heirs male.' Lady Jane Grey was the puppet of her ambitious parents the powerful Dudley family. She was proclaimed Queen of England and the Protestant Queen Jane and her husband Guildford Dudley were taken in full state from Syon House to the Royal Apartments in the Tower of London. On 19th July 1553 Queen Jane was deposed as Queen, she raised no objection - the Catholic Princess Mary was the rightful heir. Lady Jane Grey and her husband were imprisoned in the Tower. On 12th February 1553 Lady Jane Grey and her husband Guildford Dudley were executed at the Tower of London. Lady Jane watched her husband go from the Beauchamp Tower to his death on Tower Hill, a few hours before her own execution on the Green. Jane's death warrant was signed by Queen Mary later known as 'Bloody Mary' for her persecution of Protestants. Lady Jane Grey was just 17 years old. http://www.elizabethan-era.org.uk/lady-jane-grey.htm May 02 10, 8:08 PM

The older Dudleys were Jane's parents-in-law - there should be an 'and' between 'parents' and 'the powerful' that's got lost in copying. The site quoted does get the execution date wrong - it should be 1554 not 1553 - and I've contacted them about this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Jane_Grey May 03 10, 5:23 AM

Slight confusion there. The site I've referred to is right - the elizabethan-era one is the one I've contacted. May 03 10, 6:35 AM
