Who came to the throne after Edward VI died?

Jane Dudley (né Grey) as she was Edward's chosen heir. He wrote a 'devise for the succession' in which he left the throne to Lady Jane and her 'heirs male', by doing this he tried to keep his sisters Mary and Elizabeth from succeeding him. But Mary fled to her Norfolk estates where she then proclaimed herself queen and called for people to support her as the true queen of England. Technically she was the true queen as Henry VIII's 1544 act of succession left the throne to Edward and if he died without children it would pass to Mary. Edward's 'devise for the succession' was therefore illegal in a sense because it had not been passed through parliament and as he was still in his minority it would be unable to override the act put in place by Henry VIII. So once Edward died Jane came to the throne and held it for 13 days (contrary to the common belief that she was the '9 day queen') and she was not crowned during this time. Then she was overthrown by Mary who became England's first crowned queen regnant.
