There's a lot of debate whether or not she was actually Queen. When Edward the VI died, he named Jane as his successor. She was immediatelly imprisoned. Her reign was only about nine days, beginning on July 10, 1553 and ending on July 19, 1553. She was deposed after accusations of treason.
Lady Jane Gray
9 days.
Lady Jane Gray became queen after her second cousin Edward Tudor, Prince of wales died. But Mary, Edward's half sister wanted to become queen too. So most people chose sides and soon enough Lady Jane Gray became queen. But, Nine days later, the people that wanted Mary to be queen captured Lady Jane Gray AND her husband and executed them both. Then, Mary was chosen queen. Her followers captured Princess Elizabeth, Mary half sister, and planned to kill her too! But of course, that's another story....(If you want to know what happened to Princess Elizabeth just ask the question)!
No, Lady Jane Grey was a Protestant. The only reason she became queen was because Edward VI didn't want his Catholic sister, Mary to become queen. Edward was actually given medicine to stay alive just long enough for Edward to choose Lady Jane Grey as the next queen.

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.
