At the age of 16, Lady Jane Grey was proclaimed Queen of England and Ireland, apparently against her wishes. A pawn in a religious and political power struggle following the death of the boy king Edward VI, she was deposed after nine days on the throne, imprisoned in the Tower of London, and executed the following year. Lady Jane Grey, who sat on the throne for nine days in 1553 at the age of 16, was England's shortest-reigning monarch. She is also the only English monarch since 1500 who left no portrait universally accepted as authentic. http://magicstatistics.com/category/art-literature/fine-artreligious-art/page/2/ Jul 23 06, 10:47 AM
