Note

She was queen of England for nine days. When Lady Jane was 15 years old,
England's powerful Lord chamberlain John Dudley, duke of Northumberland,
arranged a marriage for her with his son, Guildford Dudley (d. 1554). The
duke's purpose was to change, through Lady Jane, the royal succession upon
the Death of the ailing Young king, Edward VI, so that he could continue
to control the country through her. Edward approved the marriage and
secured witnesses to a deed declaring Lady Jane his successor. Upon the
Death of the king, on July 6, 1553, Lady Jane was proclaimed queen, but
Edward's half sister, Mary Tudor, contested the succession. Lady Jane was
subsequently imprisoned in the Tower of London. She and her husband were
accused of treason, and both were beheaded on February 12, 1554.
