On This Day In History . 12th February 1554 . Lady Jane Grey was executed . . About Lady Jane; . 👑 Lady Jane also known as Lady Jane Dudley (after her marriage) and as "the Nine Days' Queen" was an English noblewoman & de facto Queen of England & Ireland from 10 July until 19 July 1553. . 👑  She had an excellent humanist education & a reputation as one of the most learned young women of her day studying Latin, Greek & Hebrew. . 👑 Jane was the great-granddaughter of Henry VII through his younger daughter Mary, & was a first cousin once removed of Edward VI. . 👑 Jane is often called the Nine-Day Queen, although if her reign is dated from the moment of Edward's death on 6 July 1553, her reign could have been a few days longer. . 👑 In May 1553 she married Lord Guildford Dudley, a younger son of John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland. . 👑 In June 1553, Edward VI wrote his will, nominating Jane & her male heirs as successors to the Crown, in part because his half-sister Mary was Roman Catholic, while Jane was a committed Protestant & would support the reformed Church of England, whose foundation Edward claimed to have laid. . 👑 Jane was proclaimed queen on 10 July 1553 & awaited coronation in the Tower of London. Support for Mary grew very quickly, & most of Jane's supporters abandoned her. The Privy Council of England suddenly changed sides & proclaimed Mary as queen on 19 July 1553, deposing Jane. . 👑  Jane was held as a prisoner at the Tower & was convicted of high treason in November 1553, which carried a sentence of death—though Mary initially spared her life. However, Jane's father, Henry Grey, 1st Duke of Suffolk, became part of Wyatt's rebellion against Queen Mary's intention to marry Philip II of Spain, & Jane was viewed as a threat to the Crown. Both she & her husband were executed on 12 February 1554. . 👑 Jane Grey is the only English monarch in the last 500 years (though whether her short reign was legitimate is disputed) of whom no proven contemporary portrait survives. . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #ThisDayInHistory #TheYear1554 #History #JaneGrey #Lady #LadyJaneGrey #LadyJaneDudley #TheNineDaysQueen #England #EnglishMonarchy #Heritage (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtzBERHlcDn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wclqq2wxr3zw
