Lady Jane Grey's reign lasted just nine days in July 1553 due to a power struggle following the death of King Edward VI. Edward had named her as his successor to prevent the Catholic Mary I from taking the throne. However, popular support swung towards Mary, who quickly assembled an army and claimed her right to rule. Jane was deposed and later executed, marking her brief and tumultuous time as queen.
