For those interested Jane was the daughter of Henry viii niece from his youngest sister (Henry viii was her great uncle). That was their excuse to put her on the throne
Lady Jane Grey, you were beautiful, clever, funny and I'm proud to say you are SO my role model. Queen for nine days? Doesn't matter. You were still a great queen.
Mary actually spared Lady Jane Grey for usurping her throne, she saw Jane as a innocent pawn and not as the guilty party. Jane was only later executed because of Protestant revolts raised in her name, which made it too dangerous for Mary to keep her alive.
It was actually because of a rebellion that was started after Mary was back on the throne. Mary didn’t want to kill Jane, but because of this rebellion, she signed the warrant. The books include this fact (Terrifying Tudors). I agree though. She didn’t even do anything before she got her head lopped off.
Elizabeth would have executed them too, it would be too dangerous to leave them, even lock them up in the Tower of London. Mary knew Jane and didn't want to execute her, besides, Jane was a pawn of John Dudley, the former King's chief minister, who forced her onto the throne (rather than see Catholic Mary on it).
Day Three: "'It's coronation time. Now you're the queen. You get to go out and meet your public, they don't even know who you are.' 'We don't even know who she is' 'They were expecting a different person to be queen' 'We were expecting someone else to be queen' 'They smell of wee' 'We smell of- ahh see what you're trying to do there,'(sniff sniff), 'actually we do.'
Jane Grey: Shouldn't have written that letter! Facebook user: Shouldn't have posted that on my wall! Whatsapp user: I regret sending that message to the wrong group!
I always felt sorry for Jane. She really didn't want to be Queen and then when everyone realised they had made a mistake they deserted her and let Mary execute her. She didn't stand a chance.
@JessicaLouiseMusic Mary was already being pretty darn kind for Tudor standards. Elizabeth would've given Jane the chop instantly, no questions asked. At least Mary had given her a trial, and a (technically nonexistent) chance. She even gave Jane a private execution--it saved her the humiliation of a public one. Mary did not have her killed because Edward stated that Jane was to be queen. Jane was a threat. In those times, it was unthinkable to let someone in Jane's position go.
She only agreed to be queen because her mother instructed her staff to beat Jane until she agreed to it. There is a movie about her, called Lady Jane. She was played by Helena Bonham Carter when she was 16.
if we look at the Reign leader bord. 1st: Queen Victoria-63 years 2nd:Queen Elizabirth -60 yeears and way down bottom of the reigh leader board Lady jane gray for 9 days.
Henry the VIII was her great-uncle; his sister Mary was her grandmother. She was actually placed in the line to the throne by Henry, in the event that his own children died without issue.
In fact, Mary had no intention to let go of Jane from the beginning. She knew Tutor politics too well.In her naivety Mary, intoxicated by public victory, showed leniency at first to enemies but she wouldn't let her go even without Wyatt. It goes same to Elizabeth when she killed Mary of Scott. Another that went under her skin was Jane was an legitimate queen contrary to popular belief today. Despite all legal arguments against Jane's legitimacy, Edward's kingship and will supports Jane.
@lolz9113 We are still talking about Mary Queen of Scots who burned people at the stake for not being Catholic right and, correct me if I'm wrong about this, was nicknamed Bloody Mary?
@19ididyourmom No, Edward didn't want a catholic on the throne so Mary was out. By declaring Mary a bastard he also had to declare Elizabeth a bastard. The next person in line after those two were Jane's mum, but she abdicated (i think thats the word...) for Jane. So, it wasn't random at all. Jane's mum was Henry VIII's niece, so they were all in line for the throne. But, it turned out that the people supported Mary more... That didn't turn out well. lol.
Actually it was Henry that declared both bastards and didn't do anything about it except bring them back to succession line later. this caused many confusion about their legitimacy to succession, because the parliament sanctioned it. Edward used it for his legal ground against their claim to throne. Interestingly Edward was very fond of Beth, he excluded her. It is very radical, driven by religious fervor, to divert the succession line. He actually prefers his cousin to his sisters.
The shortest reign of any monarch is not Lady Jane Grey, but Tsar Michael II of Russia. Something like 28 hours in early March 1917, between the abdication of his brother and his formal refusal of the throne. Or Emperor Napoleon II of France - ruler for about an afternoon, while they decided what place to imprison the poor little sod in.
Queen Jane never had a coronation; although the crown was presented to her at the Tower to see 'how it fitted' which she did not like, as she knew Mary was the rightful heir. And when she was told that another crown would be made for her husband Guildford, it dawned on her that she was just being used and the real plan was to get Guildford crowned King. It is such a tragic story, and Horrible Histories making light of it all just doesn't seem respectful.
@lolz9113, Bloody Mary was Mary Tudor, daughter of Henry VIII and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Mary, Queen of Scots was never queen of England. Her son, James became king after Elizabeth I died.
Mary however was merciful at first and didn't execute Jane of her father for some time. She knew Jane was only a Pawn. It didn't help that Her father joined in a rebellion against Mary!! Thats why both were executed
Yeah! I'm not even English and I find that to be one of the most disturbing things ever! I mean who the hell beheads a 16 year old girl for no reason??
i am he biggest hh fan i know all the words af every thing they have said and all the songs and all the character names and there real names.... basicly i know every thing about hh
@FNGLHR Mary, Queen of Scots was never Queen of England. She was Queen of Ireland, Scotland and France. Her son, James VI of Scotland became James I and ruled England too. Mary I/Mary Tudor was the daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, princess of Spain (who was actually supposed to marry Henry's brother).
trust me, my dad was in the in the same box at ascot a few years back and they drill you on what you're allowed to say to her... in particularly that she is to be addressed as 'ma'am' as in jam not 'marm' as in arm even though marm sounds posher lol its because it's short for madam
@lolz9113 Jane was executed mostly because as a devout protestant she didn't accept the Catholic faith and for Mary that was treason. You're forgetting that although Jane was a weak queen she had a very strong faith and was martyred mainly because of her religion.
@FNGLHR Yes, that Bloody Mary. Besides, Elizabeth killed even more people for not being Protestant, or just for treading on her toes. Mary in comparison was a lamb, if only because she didn't rule long enough to execute more people. Yes, Jane didn't deserve to die and has every right to her title of political martyr, but no, Mary was not essentially "evil". All of the Tudors from Henry VIII onwards were all cracked, actually...
Yes, I know she did. Mary Queen of Scots to be among many. And I doubt Lady Jane Grey would have had Mary I killed. She seemed like a pretty sound person (for the 9 days she was queen :/) So, no, I don't need a history lesson, but thanks.
"I never wanted to be queen in the first place." Which is true of her.
Queen Jane's one of my favorites. Just a tragic teenage girl manipulated by powermongers.
Seventeen, a book I have on Elizabeth says that Jane Grey's execution at only seventeen was probably one of the worst things done in the Tower.
Definitely up there, but I'd say the Princes in the Tower takes the cake.
Emily M Followed by the murder of King Henry VI.
Emily M myth.
For those interested Jane was the daughter of Henry viii niece from his youngest sister (Henry viii was her great uncle). That was their excuse to put her on the throne
Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury, being hacked to death because she refused to lay her neck down the chopping block was arguably worse.
Poor lady Jane Grey. She was just a pawn and didn’t deserve the way her life ended.
Can you tell me about her? I've never known anything about her before and only saw this 2:40 long thing of her
The Onion System edward vi edited his will on his death bed in order for the Tudor dynasty to remain protestant, jane had no say on the matter

At least she lived in relative comfort her whole life

In France, Louis XIX had a shorter reign: 20 minutes.
At least he got to escape with his life.
"Lady Jane Grey expires in 1554" WONDERFUL TOUCH.

I’ll bet the populace was sorry they supported Mary. They ended up hating her.
Only the protstants hated her
wonder how good or bad a queen she mightve been?! smh poor jane. caught up in political intrigue not of her making.

When your watching horrible histories because you have nothing else to do in quarantine,

Jane didn’t wanna be queen 👑.
Lady jane grery was 15 or 16 when she was exicuted. I fpund that out when i went to the tower of london in febury half term
I learned that on google (3 years before i saw this vid)
Just like liz "lettuce" truss

Lady Jane Grey isn't the shortest reigning person ever. King Louis 19th of France ruled France for a whopping one hour before dying
Love horrible histories. For die hards there are books as well. Very educational even for adults

The brilliant Alice Lowe.
LOL in my school some people say that the girls toilets are haunted by bloody mary

Underated sketch
Mary however was merciful at first and didn't execute Jane of her father for some time. She knew Jane was only a Pawn. It didn't help that Her father joined in a rebellion against Mary!! Thats why both were executed
Shortest reign in history? I believe that title goes to the Chinese emperor Modi, who only ruled for 1 day before he got killed by the Mongols.
Day 9 : PANIC !!!
