Henry VIII’s only son Edward VI died tragically young. On his deathbed he signed a new will surpass his rightful heir, his Catholic sister Mary, and make his cousin, Protestant 16 year old Jane Grey the new Queen. The reluctant teenager sat on the throne for only 9 days before the people rallied behind Mary. Once she claimed her birthright, Queen Bloody Mary had her cousin beheaded in the tower of London.

The was a horrible history video about Lady Jane Grey
This is so historcal
Request: A bit of a sqeuel to the DNA Test 2-parter video, but can you do a 2-parter video on the DNA Test for the Genetic heritage of the 22 German states prior to 1918, since almost all of the 10 modern hereditary monarchs have more German ancestry than locally, please
The tragedy is that she never had a choice. If it wasn’t Edward’s wishes, it was the pressure of her parents, husband and father in law which made her accept the throne. She knew she was doomed from the moment the crown was set on her head.
Exactly she never wanted to be queen, it was men in her life that made her a pawn in this she thought when Edward was king she was 5th in line to the throne after her mother that she would would not going to be queen anytime soon until Edward change his will
Edward was a weird fellow...
Plus, Edward was still a minor so had no right altering the Act of Succession
@@Shane-Flanaganhe was king at the time so he had the authority. But he was also taking advantage of by shady people plus I believe they were poisoning him so he and Jane were victims
@@ladynikkie Being a minor he didn't have full authority, that's why he had Lord Protectors so his he had no real right altering his father's Act of Succession which was valid
Hearing her story at 12 was entertaining, now at 21, it's just heartbreaking.
At 58 years it seems a complete and total waste of a young life! Poor Forced Queen Jane 😞 😢
Poor Jane she really was dealt a bad hand in all of this. She didn’t deserve what happened to her. She didn’t even want to be queen, she even acknowledges Mary as the rightful queen. Her parents, father in law, exploited the poor girl
Then her mom just carried on living as before under her daughter’s murderer in luxury it’s insane.

This was very interesting. Most of the time when historians discuss Jane Grey they talk about her like she was some random far distant cousin that was pulled out of obscurity just because they were the right faith (sort of like George I). This describes her better as someone who was very much in the royal landscape, even though not the lawful inheritor of the crown.
You should do a video on her sisters next. They weren't executed, but they both still had sad, hard lives mostly because of Elizabeth I.
I do believe the house of Grey went on through THEIR bloodline into the modern/current day/age
@redadmiralofvalyria867 ...I don't understand what you're trying to say...
Elizabeth was just jealous of my girls. It made things harder for them. But their stories are important, no matter what she thought.
@Lady_Frances_Grey True. She stayed on their necks because they found love and marriage, which was totally unfair. That and she was paranoid because they were heirs to the throne as well.
@@areiaaphrodite Yes, she's an old hag. Elizabeth was so mean to my daughters because they could have babies. She's scared of anyone who could take her place.
I always felt bad for Lady Jane Grey, reading about her life and death starting in middle school and wondering why a teen girl, being a pawn in the schemes of others, had to be beheaded so young…
The sad thing is it wasn’t her fault but the men in control of her life couldn’t stand Queen Mary and their rebellion led to Jane’s execution😢
That poor, sweet girl. Used by her parents, her husband and in law and never had a choice in anything.
Her story is tragic, although I don’t consider her a Queen. I wish her father had kept still during Wyatt’s rebellion, Queen Mary was determined to pardon her, and even days before her scheduled execution, she tried to convert her to Catholicism because that would eliminate her as a threat… Henry Grey ruined his life and that of his daughter
I have to agree.
I would personally consider her to be the second "technical" queen, but not a legitimate one. Same thing with Matilda as they were named as the heirs by the monarch most previous to them. They were queens by technicality although not successfully with Jane being only Queen for 9 days while Matilda was met with rebellion and disagreements about her ruling the country due to her sex. I will definitely agree with the sentiment that Jane's immediate family that has treated her so horribly before has wronged her even further when they pretty much caused her to be executed.
Hi friend.
But Jane was a queen
did you not watch the video? she had no desire to be queen, acknowledged the throne was Mary's, + was pressured into it @@cynthiaromo4170
Talk about a victim of circumstance. Lady Jane Grey didn't deserve any of it. She was too good for this sinful world.
Guildford: I swear to God, I will leave you and not sleep with you if you don't make me King!
Jane: ....Sounds like you won't be King either way, then 🤷♀️ Try me, sir 😏
She was a queen of England, even if only for 9 days. After all, she isn't called the 9 days pretender.
Charles Brandon was also King Henry's best friend, and was one of the few people elevated to a Dukedom even tho he wasn't of royal blood, and only by the favour he had with the king. As he loved his sister and his friend, he didn't dissolute the marrieage.
Henry must have loved Charles very deeply, it always amazes me that given how many people lost their favor and their heads, Charles survived through it all and Henry even paid for his funeral in the end.
You give the details other historical narrators lack and really bring the subjects to life. Hands down you are my favourite. Amazing work❤
Wow, thank you!
There really was no more dangerous place to be in Tudor England than close to the throne.
It's crazy to think Mary and Elizabeth both executed their cousins for such similar reasons.
I feel sad for Lady Jane.❤
Birds of a feather flock together.
James VI/I later executed his relative for marrying without permission
Although Elizabeth executed Mary, queen of Scots because she was directly involved in a plot to have Elizabeth assassinated while Jane was just a pawn who had no real intentions of taking the throne from Mary. So it does make Jane’s story more tragic than Mary, queen of Scots.
@@ibrahimzayaan435Mary had spared Jane originally and had not intended on executing Jane and only did so thanks to Wyatt's rebellion. As long as Jane lived, Mary's reign would've been under constant threat of uprisings in Jane's name
I've always been fascinated with Lady Jane Grey.
I feel great compassion and sympathy for Queen Jane. She deserves to be honoured and respected as a queen for the rest of history.
You're the Queen of narration! Your voice is the cherry on top! Love your work! Its always amazing! Keep beign amazing! ❤❤❤❤👸👸👸👸👸👸👸
i also find it so sad and interesting, that elizabeth woodville, who’s was the grandmother of henry the 8th thus great grandmother of mary 1, was also the mother of the grey line, i think she was the great great grandmother of lady jane grey, thus they were all truly cousins multiple ways around both through mary’s daughter marrying into the grey line but also through their ancestor elizabeth woodville herself
If I remember correctly that branch was deceased from one of her brothers who she had married into a wealthy family once she became queen. One of the reasons people didn’t like was because of her marrying her kin “above their station”
EDIT: I just checked Jane’s father was also descended from Elizabeth woodvile from her eldest son from her first marriage
Despite having had such close ties to the doomed Lady Jane Grey, her hapless husband Guilford's older brother Robert Dudley not only survived but even became a favorite of Queen Elizabeth the First AND, in turn,would become the stepfather of her flighty last known favorite, Robert Devereux, the Earl of Essex!
I've always felt so bad for Jane. She didn't want nor ask for any of this. She was extremely manipulated from birth. 😢
Queen Jane Grey was the great granddaughter of King Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. She was also the great granddaughter of Thomas Grey, Elizabeth Woodvilles eldest son. So she was the great great granddaughter of Elizabeth Woodville from both of her mother's and father's side. Such an interesting lineage.
wow so her parents were half second cousins??
Teenagers thrown into what they couldn't understand.
You manage to pack SO much amazing info into your content. It’s awesome! I always look forward to your content. And you're such an incredible story teller girl! I could hear you talk about milk and still have a great time! Thanks lindsay! Feel really bad for her. She deserved better. Can you please cover blessed karl of austria?
I love Lindsay's narration as well! She could talk about the exact process of how paint dries and I would find it entertaining. 😅
I've often wondered if the English people rationalized that the Tudors were cursed by God for killing several Kings and Queens throughout their tenure on the throne. Seeing as they were taught to believe that monarchs were put there by God himself.
Henry VII killed Richard III
Henry VIII killed several of his Queens
Edward VI took away the crown from his sisters
Queen Mary killed the technically legal "Queen Jane Grey"
Queen Elizabeth killed Mary Queen of Scots
"Bloody royals" should be a mini series for this dynasty...
Yes that would be a great title! Great comment
queen Jane grey was not legal at any point.she had no desire, acknowledged it was Mary's right, + was basically pressured into it
@@andypham1636the King made her his legal heir. If anyone was at fault, it was him for changing the line of succession. She was legitimately the Queen, but Mary also had a legitimate claim, since she was wrongfully passed over
she was not legitimately the queen, since parliament didn't approve his devise of the succession @@Anna-B
@@andypham1636 This is true, but Jane had the right to tell Mary it wasn't her fault and pointed fingers at her family. She was abused and threatened all the time, What would she have to lose? exile to a nunnery? to France? She had a better shot to have begged mercy and leniency of the Queen by being honest and repeating in an abdication notice that she accepted under duress and had never entertained the idea of taking Mary's crown.
It’s so sad how women were used as pawns for men as a means of power & as soon as the tides changed were abandoned. It’s even sadder how the ones that manage to survive through it just carry on as if they are not the reasons for their daughters, nieces & etc demise. So sad.
Hi Lindsay! I finally wanted to write to u & say how much I love your channel! I watch & re-watch all your videos...I'm a history nerd! Lol I do listen to u on Spotify but I love watching the videos for the pictures too. Thank u so much, your videos calm and soothe me from life and whatever problems I have. Keep it up you're terrific!
Thank you so much!!
All these movies and shows about Anne Boleyn and Mary, Mary, and Elizabeth. But we really should have this story as a tv series
There is only one that I know of, the 1986 film Lady Jane starring a teenage Helena Bonham-Carter. The film is very well-done, though historically inaccurate in some details. There is definitely room for a new take on this bit of history.
Poor girl... Another tragic life of a kid that was used by more powerful people...
Love Your videos! You always make My day! Your narration and research are second to none! Your History of England videos are my favorites! Thank you!
I was literally just thinking this morning that this would be an interesting video lol. Thank you! I love all of your videos!
The thing that got to me was after sheknew Mary would be queen she asked can I go home now I mean how sad and tragic is that!!! The poor girl just wanted to go home
Thank You Lindsay! ❤
Thank you for explaining the lineage
Yes!!!!!!! Was waiting for a Lady Jane video!
Thanks I always felt so sad for her.😔🌹
@LindsayHoliday, I had no idea that the odds of Queen Jane prevailing had been so high. Thank you for this insight!
Thanks for the update video history tea 🍵 and wonderful speech and keep up the good work history tea 🍵✌️😍👏👍😎🤛😊✊😎🤗
Could you consider doing a video on the Jimena Dynasty? Particularly the siblings Sancho, Alfonso, Gracia and their sister Urraca?
this girl was only 17! she never asked for this and how she died is truly heart-breaking!
"Yadda yadda, we can't have a female queen."
They clearly couldn't plan this well. They ended up with the brief queen Jane, queen Mary and queen Elizabeth.
Maybe if it wasn't for the prejudice, their paths could have been less tragic.
I think the stories of the Grey sisters: Jane, Katherine and Mary should get a show. I don't know of any other siblings getting kicked so hard by fate. Jane murdered at the age of 16/17, Katherine starving to death and Mary dying of the plague on her 33rd birthday.
I remember reading a quote attributed to her: “For when I am in the presence either of father or mother, whether I speak, keep silence, sit, stand or go, eat, drink, be merry or sad, be sewing, playing, dancing, or doing anything else, I must do it as it were in such weight, measure and number, even so perfectly as God made the world; or else I am so sharply taunted, so cruelly threatened, yea presently sometimes with pinches, nips and bobs and other ways (which I will not name for the honour I bear them) ... that I think myself in hell.”
She really didn’t have any say in her life, now did she? If her father hadn’t rebelled, she wouldn’t have lost her head.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!
I can't believe!!! She didn't want to become queen. But instead she got beheaded because of a "Rebellion"

Felt sorry for Jane that she doesn't want to be queen only lasted for a week, costing the Grey family members downfall, hope to show of Jane's family background soon.
She probably thought death was the only escape from the hell she was living. That incubator was still alive, who knows what would have happened if she got her hands on
Lady Jane again.
Philip was not King of Spain when he married Mary in 1554. Charles V still reigned and he made his son Philip King of Naples and Sicily so that he would be a king to Mary's queen. He was only King of Spain for the last 2 years of Mary's reign (1556 - 1558)
yes
Charles I in spain
Can you please do a series on the kings of France as well as the queen consorts of France?
Hi Lindsay! I AM A 12 YEAR OLD BUT I LOOOVE YOUR VIDSSS!!❤❤❤❤
I have always held a theory that had Edward have lived, He and Lady Jane would’ve gotten married. They were close in age and as we know the royals have no qualms in marrying their first cousins all the way to the 19th Century.
Love you Lindsey ❤
Poor Jane 😢 so heartbreaking
16 years... I can't imagine...😢
I’m American, so my education was focused primarily around the prior 250-300 years. European history was also taught, but not as heavily as what happened this side of the Atlantic.
Around what year can we say that Protestantism went mainstream in Europe? Martin Luther published the 95 in 1517. It’s wild to think that only appx 35 years later, people were getting beheaded over Catholic vs. Protestant.
Roots of objection to Catholicism tenets and certain practices date back to the end of the 14th century in various locations. E.g. the Lollards.
Like Catholicism, the furore of Protestantism really depends on where and when but Luther's protest did kick of a series of events which culminated in different ways.
Anglicanism for example was created in 1532, as nothing more than a ploy for Henry to disobey the Pope and have his divorce. It was Catholicism in all but name, and he even persecuted those holding extreme Protestant values.
That doesn't however mean that the Calvinist/Lutherist ideologies hadn't spread already (the Greys, Katherine Parr for e.g.) - and once Edward came to power he had been fully indoctrinated with a radicalised privy council lead by Seymour.
I'd argue that Edward and Jane were truly radicalised, whilst any executions or persecutions from Mary, Elizabeth, James and Charles being more political, security or influenced than fierce conviction (Mary obviously contrasting the others due to the traditionalist nature of her alignment and the manipulated reputation being put on her after her reign).
It's really the 17th century where it becomes mass culture wars - both continental Europe (30y war) and UK (civil war). The death toll of the 30 Year War wouldn't be topped in Europe until WW1!
The Puritans for example were considered extremists even then - by both England and the Netherlands (both Protestant nations) and is why they were exiled.
Their radicalism caused the brief authoritarianism of Republic under Cromwell and is probably even why the US is WAY more religious than we are in Europe to this day
Please make a video about Alfred the Great! Also about Vikings!
Alison Weir's book Innocent Traitor was an excellent book on Jane Grey. Read it if you ever get the chance. Jane's story was so tragic. I put her death solely on her parents AND Mary
I'd also recommend "Three Maids for a Crown" by Ella March Chase. It's fiction, but it expands the story to include her sisters, Katherine and Mary, who also had horrible fates. Both were imprisoned for getting married without permission. Katherine starved to death (either from depression after the long imprisonment or from TB, as a lack of appetite is a symptom), while Mary was eventually released, but fate kicked her one last time, dying of the plague on her birthday. Seriously, someone should make a series about the 3 Grey sisters.
Would you consider doing videos about some of earldoms and dukedoms and their roles in history?
I found a fascinating book on the tie between the last Habsburgs (Franz Ferdinand and Sophie's children)and Hitler.
Could you please share the title for those of us who would like to read it? History is fascinating
Franz Ferdinand + Sophie's children were not Habsburgs, because their marriage was morganatic. Charles I + Zita's children were the last, actually
Please do a video on Katherine Howard
@@theashwoodfaerie Like a dedicated video to her I mean
Some legend is just that.
Woe to those who betrayed my sisters in their own blood. May their souls never rest until they know the extent of their sin upon woman.
Mary I, the first undisputed Queen regnant of England 👑
are you able to do a video on Joan of Arc? thank youuuu i love your channel!!!
Hello, I love your channel! I was wondering if you could do a video about Edward IV of England's illegitimate children.
he had some??
@@andypham1636 several I believe
@@pedanticradiator1491 bruh I thought he was faithful to Elizabeth woodvile
@andypham1636 oh god no
@@andypham1636 I wish but I think he had 4? so that's why I want a video about it so I can be certain.
I know your channel is based on the royalties but would you considered doing videos.on the dukes and dutchess that help shape their countries.
Love these stories can anyone tell me how they made all the elaborate clothes in this era if they were handmade how did they not fall apart
How do you mean? Handmade clothes made with the proper know-how are generally far sturdier than the flimsy fast fashion stuff we mostly have now, which is literally designed to disintegrate in two years. The fabrics of the clothes these royal people would wear were high-quality and expertly treated. If there was damage to a piece it would also be repaired, lengthening the life span of a piece of clothing.
Very tragic and so much violence.
None of this was her fault. It was her parents fault. She never wanted the crown yet was forced to take the crown & it eventually led to her parents doom.
It most definitely isn't my fault. I won't stand for anyone questioning how I raised my children!!!!!
A lot of commoners never even heard of Jane Gray at that time.
Poor Jane Grey.
Is there a code for the free month of Magellan?
I have a video idea for you
Rani Jhansi Bai from India
She was a very fear some Warrior just like boudica of the United Kingdom she is still very praised in India all those she lost the war you should definitely make a video on her in your series queens of the world
Royal couple really in love part 2
Empress Anna of Russia
Matilda queen of England the first ruling queen of UK
Cleopatra of Egypt
Isabella the second of Spain
not disputing Matilda's reign, but she never styled herself queen, she called herself "lady of the English"
@@andypham1636you are right but she did have power for sometime
Also, even though Cleopatra is typvially known as just that, she was actually the 7th of that name to reign in Egypt
How terrifying. That poor girl, waking up everyday with people slowly disappearing and leaving her basically to the slaughter. So so sad.
The guy in the painting with her blindfolded at her execution (Sir Thomas Brydges) is my 14x Great Grandpa lol
How do you know that
@@ashtondmello1968 How do I know its Thomas Brydges or my 14x Great Grandpa?
I keep coming back to ask you to do more POCs...Seondeok, Myeongseong, Suiko, etc. More Asians and other POCs
"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." Shakespeare certainly spoke the truth. Poor Jane; a tragic pawn for others who craved power. 😢
So sad for her
When King Edward was choosing the succession, why didn't he disqualify Princess Marry on the ground of her religion instead of her illegitimacy? Then he could have chosen Princess Elizabeth.
I believe through his mother, Mary, he was next in line for the throne.
9 days ago is very fitting
Of all the excecutions this one really made me feel sad, she couldn't even defend herself and was never given a choice, poor girl she was too young 😢
I am no feminist in the least, but the thought of pre-adult girls being “betrothed” to decrepit old geezers or wealthy noblemen enrages me to no end. The male Tudors’ vain attempt to install a dude on the throne cost too many decent and innocent girls/women their dignity & life😡. Thank God Elizabeth I proved her Daddy & brother WRONG. I'll argue the Queen surpassed both in intellect & strength of character.
She was another tragic figure in the Tudor dynasty.
It's interesting that 38 was thought to be too old to have any more children. My mom had me at 38.
Technically Jane Grey was Queen Regnant for 13 days
Queen Mary did NOT want to execute Jane. But was left with little choice
Wait, Wasn’t Jane born in 1537 - the same year as Edward?
Yes, indeed, and also she was named after Edward's mother.
oh my gosh im early!!! love your videos
*I'M
A very sad story. Her family used and betrayed her.
😭😭😭
I really heard you say Reading playdough not Plato lol
What in the world was the little Henry holding in his lap there??
i have never clicked on a video so fast omg
Who's here after watching the Horrible Histories short about her?
She's the second queen
Pretty sad.
I do wonder what would’ve happened if Jane’s mother Frances had been made the next Queen instead
She was used by her family. But still accepted usurping the throne from the rightful heiress.
Was it usurpation? Because problem is... the law was iffy. I think Jane was A lawful queen (not THE, but A lawful queen). Sure, she shouldn't have been, but I think in messing around with the laws Henry VIII, Edward VI and the rest of them (don't forget that his Device for the Succession got over 100 signatures)... I think they created a situation where there were 2 lawful queens, due to contradictory laws. Mary and Elizabeth were bastards and the laws said bastards couldn't inherit anything, let alone the crown. Then if you look at who got to be acknowledged as king/queen... there really isn't any rule, legal or moral. It's just whoever. Richard III and Edward V are both acknowledged as monarchs even though legally only one of them was, then Henry forgets (or doesn't do it on purpose) to legitimate Mary and Elizabeth and after Elizabeth's reign, completely against the law: James VI of Scotland takes over and no one blinks an eye. They don't consistently respect any principles of any kind.
@@octavianpopescu4776 Mary was not a bastard. She was the legitimate daughter of his lawful wife, Catherine of Aragon
@@madonnahood3381 Legally speaking she was a bastard. Yes, in hindsight we consider all 6 of Henry's wives as legitimate and the children too, but the law at the time said otherwise. If you asked Henry he'd probably say he only ever had 2-4 wives and he definitely wouldn't have included Catherine of Aragon among them. Keep in mind that he didn't divorce Catherine, but annulled the marriage, which is worse. Because this meant that legally him and Catherine were never married and Mary was a bastard. Same thing applied to Elizabeth. Morally speaking you're right, but legally at the time... she was a bastard. I guess this is why we eventually dropped this whole legitimate vs bastard distinction, because of the complications it gave rise to.
Same thing with marriage... today we use a specific ceremony to draw the line between married and unmarried. At the time, the ceremony was optional. This is why you hear arguments over being "pre-contracted" (something Henry used to annul his marriage to Anne of Cleves). Henry's legal fumbling around sowed the seeds for the whole 1553 crisis. To this day in the UK they have shady, but legal practices they call "Henry VIII clauses."
