Jane lived with the couple until Catherine's death in childbirth in September Lady Jane acted as chief mourner at Catherine Parr's funeral; Thomas Seymour showed continued interest to keep her in his household, and she returned there for about two months before he was arrested at the end of Among other things, Thomas Seymour was charged with proposing Jane as a bride for the king.
In the course of Thomas Seymour's following attainder and execution, Jane's father was lucky to stay largely out of trouble. After his fourth interrogation by the King's Council , he proposed his daughter Jane as a bride for the Protector's eldest son, Lord Hertford.

Henry's will reinforced the succession of his three children, and then declared that, should none of them leave descendants, the throne would pass to heirs of his younger sister, Mary, which included Jane. For unknown reasons, Henry excluded Jane's mother, Frances Grey, from the succession, [23] and also bypassed the claims of the descendants of his elder sister, Margaret , who had married into the Scottish royal house and nobility.
However, Edward, in a draft will "My devise for the Succession" composed earlier in , had first restricted the succession to non-existent male descendants of Frances Brandon and her daughters, before he named his Protestant cousin "Lady Jane and her heirs male" as his successors, probably in June ; the intent was to ensure his Protestant legacy, thereby bypassing Mary who was a Roman Catholic. Edward VI personally supervised the copying of his will which was finally issued as letters patent on 21 June and signed by notables, among them the whole Privy Council , peers, bishops, judges, and London aldermen.
The King died on 6 July , but his death was not announced until four days later. On 10 July, she was officially proclaimed Queen of England, France and Ireland after she had taken up secure residence in the Tower of London , where English monarchs customarily resided from the time of accession until coronation. Jane refused to name her husband Dudley as king, because that would require an Act of Parliament. Northumberland faced a number of key tasks to consolidate his power after Edward's death. Most importantly, he had to isolate and, ideally, capture Mary Tudor to prevent her from gathering support.
As soon as Mary was sure of King Edward's demise, she left her residence at Hunsdon and set out to East Anglia , where she began to rally her supporters. Northumberland set out from London with troops on 14 July to capture Mary.

The historical consensus assumes that this was in recognition of overwhelming support of the population for Mary. However, there is no clear evidence for that outside Norfolk and Suffolk, where Northumberland had put down Kett's Rebellion; hence, where princess Mary sought refuge. Rather, it seems that Henry FitzAlan, 19th Earl of Arundel —whom Northumberland had arrested and detained twice as an ally of Somerset, before rehabilitating—engineered a coup d'etat in the Privy Council in Northumberland's absence.
Jane is often called the Nine-Day Queen, although if her reign is dated from the moment of Edward's death on 6 July , her reign could have been a few days longer. The Duke of Northumberland was executed on 22 August In September, Parliament declared Mary the rightful successor and denounced and revoked Jane's proclamation as that of a usurper. Referred to by the court as Jane Dudley, wife of Guildford, Jane was charged with high treason , as were her husband, two of his brothers, and the former Archbishop of Canterbury , Thomas Cranmer.
As was to be expected, all defendants were found guilty and sentenced to death. Jane's guilt, of having treacherously assumed the title and the power of the monarch, was evidenced by a number of documents she had signed as "Jane the Quene". Her father, Henry Grey, 1st Duke of Suffolk, and his two brothers joined the rebellion, and so the government decided to go through with the verdict against Jane and Guildford.
Their execution was first scheduled for 9 February , but was then postponed for three days to give Jane a chance to convert to the Catholic faith. Mary sent her chaplain John Feckenham to Jane, who was initially not pleased about this.

On the morning of 12 February , the authorities took Guildford from his rooms at the Tower of London to the public execution place at Tower Hill , where he was beheaded. A horse and cart brought his remains back to the Tower, past the rooms where Jane was staying. Seeing her husband's corpse return, Jane is reported to have exclaimed: According to the account of her execution given in the anonymous Chronicle of Queen Jane and of Two Years of Queen Mary , which formed the basis for Raphael Holinshed 's depiction, Jane gave a speech upon ascending the scaffold:.
Good people, I am come hither to die, and by a law I am condemned to the same. The fact, indeed, against the Queen's highness was unlawful, and the consenting thereunto by me: While admitting to action considered unlawful, she declared that "I do wash my hands thereof in innocence". The executioner asked her forgiveness, which she granted him, pleading: Jane then failed to find the block with her hands, and cried, "What shall I do?
With her head on the block, Jane spoke the last words of Jesus as recounted by Luke: No memorial stone was erected at their grave. She died in During and in the aftermath of the Marian persecutions , Jane became viewed as a Protestant martyr for centuries, featuring prominently in the several editions of the Book of Martyrs Actes and Monuments of these Latter and Perillous Dayes by John Foxe.
The tale of Lady Jane grew to legendary proportions in popular culture, producing romantic biographies, novels, plays, paintings, and films, one of which was the production Lady Jane , starring Helena Bonham Carter. Jane Grey is the only English monarch in the last years though whether her short reign was legitimate is disputed of whom no proven contemporary portrait survives.
My Royal Story
Painted 40 to 50 years after Jane's death, the " Streatham portrait " so called after the area of London in which it resided for decades depicts a young woman dressed in a red gown, adorned with jewels and holding a prayer book. It gets old after a bit. While I know most decisions were completely out of her hands as both a child and a girl, there are very few moments when she seems to even really know what's going on around her.

In this book the reader follows the short, tragic life of Jane Grey from the age of ten when she is given a diary to write in. Her courage and bravery is apparent as she becomes an unwilling pawn in the hands of greedy, powerful men, and to the end she remains steadfast in her religious beliefs.
