How was Lady Jane Grey killed?
she posed a potential threat to Queen Mary I reign. Even though Lady Jane Grey never desired the crown while she was alive there would always be the danger of a rebellion raising up in her name. It was not an easy thing for Mary to do but she had to do what was best for the kingdom. Jane was completely innocent..."bloody" Mary was so worried she was a threat that she had to kill her. She was executed because of high treason... this is because she was queen when the true next in line was Queen Mary although Lady Jane was basically forced to take the crown by John Dudley and her parents. Queen Mary and Lady Jane actually had a good relationship and Queen Mary in the beginning refused to let her be executed it was the rebellious act of Lady Jane's father that made Queen Mary's advisers realize Lady Jane was too much of liability. Lady Jane Grey was pushed forward onto the throne in an attempt to maintain the Protestant faith. Mary gained the throne in 1553 with the country much divided on issues of religion. Lady Jane Grey was found guilty of high treason November 13, 1553. There was speculation that her life would be spared but there was a Protestant rebellion lead by Thomas Wyatt the younger in January 1554. With Mary still feeling vulnerable her fate was sealed. She was executed February 12, 1554.
