Lady Jane Grey was Queen of England for 9 days, after Edward (Henry VIII's son) declared that she would succeed him, rather than Mary. After 9 days of ruling Mary came in to London and removed Jane from power. She was found guilty of High Treason and beheaded on 19 February 1554. She was only 16/17 at the time.
