No 3 to Henry V111

No, that was Jane SEYMOUR. Lady Jane Grey was not married to Henry VIII, she reigned as queen for 9 days in July 1553 after the death of Henry's son Edward VI- she had only one husband, Lord Guildford Dudley who was the youngest son of John Dudley, the Duke of Northumberland, who had been Edward's Chief Minister.

Northumberland persuaded Edward (who was a cousin of Lady Jane's) to nominate her as his successor over & above his two half-sisters, Mary and Elizabeth Tudor. The official reason given was that Mary was a Roman Catholic and would undermine the Anglican Church, and that Elizabeth was not leadership material, but the actual reason was so that Northumberland could secure a powerful position in Government as Queen Jane's father-in-law.

However, Mary Tudor acted quickly to overthrow Jane, having her imprisoned in the Tower of London and executed along with her husband on 12th February 1554, at the age of just 17 years old.
