Description of Jane Grey (The Nine Days Queen):

Jane Grey (c. 1537 – 12 February 1554), also known as Lady Jane Dudley after her marriage and as the "Nine Days' Queen", was an English noblewoman who claimed the throne of England and Ireland from 10 to 19 July 1553. After Edward's death, Jane was proclaimed queen on 10 July 1553. Support for her cousin Mary grew quickly, and most of Jane's supporters abandoned her. Mary was proclaimed as queen on 19 July 1553, deposing Jane. Jane was held prisoner in the Tower and convicted of treason. Mary initially spared her life; however, Jane was soon viewed as a threat to the Crown when her father, Henry Grey, became involved with a rebellion against Mary. Jane was executed on 12 February 1554.
