Best Answer

Lady Jane Grey ascended the throne with the death of King Edward. He had no children and this left the rightful heir in dispute. She was the de facto monarch for only 9 days when Mary supported by the Catholic Pope came to claim the throne. Realizing she had little chance of retaining her title, Jane Grey stepped aside. Mary executed her February 12, 1554.
