Lady Jane Grey

Intro Lady Jane Grey was an English noblewoman who was proclaimed Queen of England and Ireland on 10 July 1553 and reigned until she was deposed by the Privy Council of England, who proclaimed her cousin, Mary I, as the new Queen on 19 July 1553. Overview +3 Lady Jane Grey's marriage to Lord Guilford Dudley was a politically arranged union, and there's evidence it was unhappy. While Jane initially refused the match and was coerced into it, they were executed for treason, leading to a limited understanding of their married life. Despite some later portrayals of a romantic relationship, historical sources suggest a more strained and perhaps hostile dynamic. On 12 February 1554, Lady Jane Grey was executed on Tower Green at the Tower of London. She was 17 years old
