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.
