Lady Jane Grey

she ruled England for 9 days

Lady Jane Raynes was born on August 11, 1932, in London, England, UK.

Lady Jane Grey did not have any major impact on the world due to her only being the Queen of England for 9 days. At that period in time she was a Catholic, so there was nothing to change about Religion. But war wise she had lots of advisers to lead the wars for then and command the army. Marriage was not much of a change either because she was forced to Mary a man called Guildford who wasa very controlling person.

In conclusion her impact on the world during her life was not much.

The father of Lady Jane Grey (1537 - 1554), the "nine days queen" was Henry Grey, the 1st Duke of Suffolk (1515 - 1554). Jane was the great grandaughter of Henry VII, the first Tudor king, through her mother, Lady Frances Brandon.

none. She was only Queen for nine days and didnt have any time to do anything before Mary took over.

She was fourth in line to the throne after her mother and Henry VIII's two daughters, because she was his great niece. If you claimed that Henry's daughters were illegitimate, as Henry himself liked to claim, and as her mother waived her right, Lady Jane was next in line. It was convenient that she should be Queen because she was a Protestant.

Lady Jane Grey was protestant christian.
She was in her personal belief something of a protestant believer! She was still, however, a member of the Anglican Church! In other words ultimately a Catholic!

Lady Jane Grey reigned as Queen of England for just nine days, from July 10 to July 19, 1553. She was declared queen after the death of Edward VI, but her reign was quickly challenged, leading to her imprisonment and eventual execution. Her brief rule is often referred to as the "Nine Days' Queen."

Victim. She was used by her parents and father-in-law and then got beheaded for treason.

lady jane greys parents were called edward v and mary the first lady jane grey got her name from and extract in the bible luke 911.6

Lady Jane Grey never changed the religion. She was Protestant, as well as the King before her. The one who wanted to change the religion was Mary. Once Jane was no longer queen, and she was executed, Mary became queen and changed the religion to the Christian beliefs.

Reading and religion. Reading about religion. Reading. Learning. Being taught. Being a Protestant.

Lady Jane Grey and Mary Queen of Scots are different because they are two different people , not the same person. They have several similarities tho

Both are great granddaughters of Henry the seventh

Lady Jane Grey is the granddaughter of Mary Tudor and Mary Queen of Scots was the granddaughter of Margaret Tudor (Mary Tudor's sister) thus making them second cousins

They both had a strong claim to the Tudor throne through their grandmothers which ultimately led to their downfall with their cousins once removed Mary the I and Elizabeth the I as they both willingly and unwillingly got involved in plots to takeover the throne

I hope this answers your question

Lady Jane Grey was beheaded on February 12, 1554, at the Tower of London.

Lady Jane Grey was Queen of England for nine days in 1553; she was quickly replaced by Mary Tudor and beheaded for treason (1537-1554).

•Lady Jane Grey was born in October,1537, at her home in Bradgate Park.

•The exact date of her birth is unknown but it is believed that she was born sometime before her cousin Edward VI, who was born on 12th October.

•Her parents were Henry Grey and Frances Brandon.

•Jane had two younger sisters called Katherine and Mary.

•Jane was educated at Hatfield by tutors from Cambridge and learned to read and speak Italian, Greek and French.

•Jane was English and she was also a devout protestant.

•Jane married Guildford Dudley in 1553 at the same place as two other couples, her younger sister Katherine to Lord Herbert, and Catherine Dudley, daughter of the Northumberlands to Lord Hastings, son of the Earl of Huntingdon. Jane didn't want to marry Guildford but she was forced to.

• Jane is most famous for being 'Queen for nine days'. After just over a week on the throne she and her husband were imprisoned in the Tower of London by Mary I, Henry the VIII and Catherine of Aragon's daughter, a Catholic, who then became Queen.

• Jane and Guildford were both executed on the 12th February 1554.

•She was buried in St Peter-ad-Vincula, Tower of London

Jane is known as the 'Queen for nine days' because she was only on the throne for, well, nine days. When Edward VI was dying, the Northumberlands realised that if Edward died then Mary I would be heir to the throne. So they made Guildford, their son, marry Lady Jane Grey. Then they persuaded Edward VI to make Jane, and any male children she might have, successors to the Crown. This made Mary angry because Henry VIII had said that if Edward died, she would be the rightful heir to the throne. On July 6, 1553, Edward died and Lady Jane Grey was declared Queen. Mary, who was furious, gathered her forces to try and get the throne back. On July 19, Mary, who had won the fight for power, was declared new Queen of England, after Jane had had just nine short days being queen. Jane was imprisoned and later executed.

On 11th February 1554, Jane was told that she would die the following morning. It was on this same day that Dr Feckenham, Mary's chaplain, visited Jane to give her the opportunity to convert to Catholicism before she died. Jane told him, 'I am ready to face death patiently' All that she wanted, was peace to get herself ready for death.

Feckenham thought that Jane didn't want to convert to Catholicism because there was so little time to. He reported this to the Queen who gave Jane and Guildford three days reprieve. When Feckenham told Jane the news she said 'Alas, sir! I did not intend what I said to be reported to the Queen. I will gladly suffer death since it is Her Majesty's pleasure...Let me make my peace with God.'

He asked that she may allow him to accompany her to the scaffold. She agreed to this.

It was decided that Guildford would be executed on Tower Hill and Jane within the Tower. On 11 February Guildford requested the right to meet with Jane. Mary consented, adding that she hoped it would be of some consolation to them both. When word was sent to Jane, she refused, replying that, 'it would disturb the holy tranquillity with which they had prepared themselves for death.'

Around 10 o'clock on the morning of 12 February, Jane watched from her window as her husband was led to Tower Hill. She was still at the window when his body was brought back into the Tower,

Shortly before 11 o'clock she was collected by the Lieutenant of the Tower. Jane then made her way to the scaffold, clutching Brydges arm. People of the Guard surrounded the wooden structure that had been erected the day before. At the scaffold, Jane was met by Dr Feckenham, along with several other Tower chaplains. Jane recited the fifty-first psalm in English. Jane then gave her gloves and handkerchief to her lady-in-waiting, Mrs Ellen, and handed her prayer book to Sir John Brydges. Jane tied the handkerchief around her eyes. Unable to locate the block, she became anxious, 'Where is it? What shall I do? Where is it?' she asked, her voice faltering. Those who were watching seemed unsure of what to do. Then, one of them climbed the scaffold and helped her to the block. Her last words were, 'Lord, into thy hands I commend my spirit.'

No 3 to Henry V111

No, that was Jane SEYMOUR. Lady Jane Grey was not married to Henry VIII, she reigned as queen for 9 days in July 1553 after the death of Henry's son Edward VI- she had only one husband, Lord Guildford Dudley who was the youngest son of John Dudley, the Duke of Northumberland, who had been Edward's Chief Minister.

Northumberland persuaded Edward (who was a cousin of Lady Jane's) to nominate her as his successor over & above his two half-sisters, Mary and Elizabeth Tudor. The official reason given was that Mary was a Roman Catholic and would undermine the Anglican Church, and that Elizabeth was not leadership material, but the actual reason was so that Northumberland could secure a powerful position in Government as Queen Jane's father-in-law.

However, Mary Tudor acted quickly to overthrow Jane, having her imprisoned in the Tower of London and executed along with her husband on 12th February 1554, at the age of just 17 years old.

She had her executed. This was with reluctance though. Only when Jane's father rebelled again, was she covinced that her execution was necessary.

I can't find any reference to the fact that her execution wasn't a straightforward single stroke from the headsman's axe.

No, she died very soon after her marriage.

No. Matilda (Maud) was the first female English monarch. Matilda was the rightful queen but was pregnant in France when her father Henry I died and her cousin Stephen seized the throne. She temporarily regained it in 1141 but was forced into exile by the London mob.

Lady Jane Grey, (1537 - 1554) was the daughter of Henry Grey, the Marquess of Dorset and Lady Frances Brandon. Lady Frances was a great-grandaughter of Henry VII, the first Tudor king. When she was about 10, Jane became part of the household of Katherine Parr, Henry VIII's sixth and last wife.

Henry Grey, Jane's father, was created Duke of Suffolk in 1551. At court, John Dudley, the Duke of Northumberland, who was a staunch Protestant, held great power and was acting as regent to the young Edward VI.

Jane was married to Guildford Dudley, Northumberland's son, in May 1553.

Edward VI was not very strong, and began to get sick and weak. Northumberland was concerned that the crown would pass to Mary, Edward's older sister and true heir, who was Roman Catholic. He managed to persuade the dying Edward, who was also staunchly Protestant, to name Lady Jane Grey as his successor, and to pronounce Mary and their other sister, Elizabeth, illegitimate. Edward died on 6 July 1553, and four days later, Jane was proclaimed queen.

However, Mary began to gain much support from those who were uneasy that the true successor had been excluded, and within days, Jane's reign faded away, with even her father proclaiming Mary as true queen and easily persuading Jane to give up the crown. Jane had been only the "nine days queen".

Lady Jane and her husband Guildford Dudley, were imprisoned by Mary I, and tried for treason in November 1553, and sentenced to death. The Duke of Northumberland had previously been tried and found guilty and executed on 22 August 1553. Lady Jane's father, Suffolk, was pardoned, but implicated in a later plot with Sir Thomas Wyatt in February 1554, and sentenced to death for that treason. on 12 February 1554, Lady Jane and her husband were executed. The Duke of Suffolk, Jane's father, was executed two days later.

Not all English were protestant at that time, many, perhaps most were catholic or at least not as sternly protestant and Jane and her followers.

People certainly mistrusted the Duke of Northumberland, who was her father-in-law and behind the coup.

Also, most English people saw Mary as legitimate and she enjoyed a lot of support and popularity in 1553.
