Who told edward to exclude his half sisters and put lady jane grey?

This was largely the influence of Edward VI's guardian, the Duke of Northumberland. Both he and the boy-king were cousins to Lady Jane, and Northumberland sought to gain considerable influence at Court by installing a relative of his on the throne. He persuaded Edward (who was dying of tuberculosis) that his half-sisters were unsuitable to succeed him, Mary Tudor because she was a Catholic and Elizabeth because she was not seen as having sufficient leadership qualities. But when Edward died at the age of 15 in 1553, Lady Jane Grey was Queen only for nine days. Her accession was hotly contested by Mary Tudor, who in the end had her deposed and executed, and took the throne herself. Northumberland was also put to death soon afterwards.

Who took the throne after Henry VIII death?

Lady Jane Grey, as you may already know, became queen after a request of Edward I on his death bed instead of the late king's half sisters. This didn't go down well (as you can imagine) and so after a meagre nine days of ruling England, Lady Jane was executed at the Tower of London upon the orders of Mary I. Mary then succeeded her and after Mary came Elizabeth I (the last Tudor Monarch).


In the Tudor times how long did Mary Jane grey 1 reign for?

Lady Jane Grey, the "nine days queen"Before he died, Edward VI (1537 - 1553) 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. Lady Jane was a great granddaughter 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 powerfully ambitious father in law, the fiercely Protestant Duke of Northumberland, Jane, who was just a pawn in a power game, was proclaimed Queen.However there was strong support for Mary Tudor as the rightful queen, and soon it was clear that Jane was not going to be able to hold on to the throne. 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. Lady Jane and her husband, Guildford Dudley, son of the Duke of Northumberland, were beheaded on 12 February 1554.
