Yes.. but its easy to get confuse. then there is................... Lady Jane Gray Reign 6/July 10, 1553 – July 19, 1553 Born ca. September-October 1537 Died February 12, 1554 (aged 16) Tower of London (executed) Predecessor Edward VI Successor Mary I Consort Guilford Dudley Issue None Royal House Tudor Father Henry Grey, Duke of Suffolk Mother Lady Frances Brandon Lady Jane Grey, formally Jane of England (1537 – February 12, 1554), a great-granddaughter of Henry VII of England, reigned as uncrowned queen regnant of the Kingdom of England for nine days in July 1553. Though Jane's accession, pursuant to the Will of King Edward VI, may have breached the laws of England, many powers of the land proved willing to accept her as Queen of England, even if only as part of a power-struggle to stop Henry's elder daughter, Princess Mary, a Roman Catholic, from acceding to the throne. Jane's brief rule ended, however, when the authorities revoked her proclamation as queen. Mary's subsequent régime eventually had her executed for treason. Popular history sometimes refers to Lady Jane as "The Nine Days' Queen" (July 10 – July 19, 1553) or, less commonly, as "The Thirteen Days' Queen" (July 6 – July 19, 1553) — owing to uncertainties as to when she succeeded to the throne. Historians have taken either the day of her predecessor's death (July 6) or that of her official proclamation as Queen (July 10), as the beginning of her short reign. Lady Jane had a reputation as one of the most learned women of her day, and the historical writer Alison Weir describes her as one of "the finest female minds of the century".
