How did Mary claimed the throne after Lady Jane Grey?
Lady Jane Grey, (1537 - 1554) was the daughter of Henry Grey, the Marquess of Dorset and Lady Frances Brandon. Lady Frances was a great-granddaughter of Henry VII, the first Tudor king, and Jane's grandparents were the Princess Mary Rose, younger sister of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) and Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. 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 Grey was married to Guildford Dudley, Northumberland's son, in May 1553.
Edward VI was not physically very strong, and began to get weak after suffering various illnesses. 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, Lady Jane was proclaimed queen.
Meanwhile, 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.
