Lady Jane Grey was the niece of King Henry VIII (his sister Mary's daughter). Upon the death of King Edward, Lady Jane Grey, at the urging of several corrupt advisors, became queen. Her reign lasted only nine days, as the public support was behind Henry VIII's daughter, Princess Mary, to become queen. Mary claimed the throne that was rightfully hers, and Lady Jane Grey was held prisoner in the Tower of London until she was beheaded seven months later.
