Lady Jane Grey

she was beheaded

she got beheaded

Her name was lady jane and she got the grey from all of her miserys and how she got her other nickname (the nine day queen) was of course the queen for nine days.

On February 12, 1554 at the Tower of London, Jane was sent to the scaffold. She calmly climbed the scaffold and said a speech. She said the Psalm 51 in "the most devout manner". She then knelt by the block and tied a piece of cloth around her eyes. When the executioner told her to put her head on the block, she reached out but could not find the block since she was very nervous. She cried for help until someone grabbed her hands and helped her find the block. Jane then put her neck above the block and slowly lowered it onto the block, pressed her neck against the wood and fit her chin in the hold. Then she brought her arms around her. Before she was executed she cried out "Lord, into thy hands, I commen The crowd watched as the executioner raised the axe high in the air. Jane was shivering badly but her neck stayed perfectly still. Then, the executioner quickly swung the axe down perfectly at the middle of Jane's neck, which was severed in a single stroke. Jane's severed head fell to the straw in front of the block while huge amounts of blood splattered across the scaffold. The executioner then grabbed Jane's head by her red hair and lifted it up to show the crowd. He shouted "So perish all the Queen's enemies! Behold the head of a traitor!" d my spirit!"

Her exact date of birth is uncertain, but enough is known to say that she was around 17 years old, give or take a few months.

Because she ruled for only nine days, the shortest rule ever in England.

Lady Jane Grey was queen when she was 15 years old.

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.

One assume you mean Elizabeth I or Elizabeth Tudor. She, who had no children, was succeeded by James I, who was the son of the murdered Mary, Queen of Scots ( executed 1587) James" wife was Anne of Denmark, who was a Blonde, of Danish origin as her name implies. She was Queen Consort ( not regnant) of England in the reign of James I- Virginia was founded in this time period- l607- Jamestown settlement! If Elizabeth was still alive it might have been Elizabethtown.

Her nickname - "The Nine Days Queen" - came about because she ruled England for only 9 days, from 10 July - 19 July 1553.

Mary I became queen after Lady Jane Grey, who held the throne for only 9 days.

Yes, Lady Jane Grey married the tall, blonde, eighteen year old Lord Guildford Dudley in May 1553. He was executed shortly before her in February 1554 - she saw his beheaded body as she was being processed to the scaffold. For further details see The Sisters Who Would be Queen, by Leanda de Lisle published January 2009 in the UK and September 2009 in the US.

Lady Jane Grey's exact birth date is unknown but she was born in 1536 or 1537 and was executed in 1554 making her 17 or 18.

No she didn't but Thomas Seymour (Edward's maternal uncle) wanted them to marry so he bought the wardship of Jane and then made an attempt to kidnap Edward. This attempt failed because Edward's dog started barking so Seymour shot it and the noise brought guards who arrested Seymour. He was later executed for treason.

Jane was married to Guilford Dudley and Edward was at a time betrothed to Mary Queen of Scots and Princess Elisabeth of France.

She never was- she reigned for only nine days, from 10th to 19th July 1553 after Edward VI nominated her as his successor under pressure from his guardian, the Duke of Northumberland.

She was nominated over the heads of Edward's two half-sisters, Mary and Elizabeth Tudor, and Mary (the eldest) was furious. She had Lady Jane deposed, imprisoned in the Tower of London, and executed on 12th February 1554 (allegedly because of her involvement in the Wyatt rebellion against Mary's plans for an alliance with Spain). She was only 17 years old.

She is one of only two English monarchs never to have been crowned, the other being Edward VIII in 1936.

That depends, who is Jane, and who did she refuse to marry?

Her mother was his sister's daughter, so she was his great-niece.

As Queen for nine days Jane Grey did not kill anyone as far as I know. If you want to be literal I supose you could count those who died fighting for her but I wouldn't because she never wanted the throne. If you want to learn more about Jane Grey go to TudorHistory.org.

After Edward VI died he named Lady Jane Grey as his heir. Mary I thought that she was entitled to the throne because she was Henry VIII daughter and he eventually agreed for her and Elizabeth to be in line to the throne if Edward died. Lady Jane Grey ruled for 9 days before she was arrested by Mary I. Soon after she was beheaded while Mary ruled as Queen.

When Edward VI died, Jane Grey was named as his successor, and there was an attempt to put her on the throne. The actual next in line, Edward's sister Mary, had Jane executed to stop any future claim to the throne.

She was queen for only 9 days before Mary's supporters overthrew her and put Mary on the thrown. Jane spent her entire life as queen in the Tower of London.
