The Forgotten Tudor Queen - Part 3 | Lady Jane Grey

The forgotten Tudor queen, Lady Jane Grey, only reigned for 13 short days, and was never formally crowned (despite her epithet as the '9-day-queen'). But what do we really know about her life? Was Jane really the innocent pawn history has portrayed her as, or did she have ambitions of her own for the crown? This video looks at the aftermath of Jane becoming a prisoner in the Tower of London, and Mary I becoming queen of England. Did Jane go quietly, or did she see herself as a Protestant martyr? And what led to Mary declaring a death sentence for Jane and her husband?
