Best Answer

Being a protestant with a descent from the Royal family she was made Queen in a coup, by her father and a crowd of supporters,she was displaced by Queen Mary Tudor and eventually beheaded.
Lady Jane Grey is famous because she was the reigning monarch of England for nine days.

Jane was named Queen of England in the will of her cousin King Edward VI to prevent Edward's older Catholic sister Mary from becoming Queen and restoring England to the full power of the Pope.

This attempt failed, and Jane was imprisoned in the Tower of London for treason
Nothing apart from being on the throne for 11 days x
