She was fourth in line to the throne after her mother and Henry VIII's two daughters, because she was his great niece. If you claimed that Henry's daughters were illegitimate, as Henry himself liked to claim, and as her mother waived her right, Lady Jane was next in line. It was convenient that she should be Queen because she was a Protestant.
