Lady Jane Grey's Execution Women of the Faith = = =1537-1554=

== Lady Jane Grey spoke God's goodness in giving her "severe parents and so gentle a school master". She likely received an upper-class girl's education. Lady Jane Grey was raised in a beautiful estate with her two sisters. She was not close to her parents but her marriage united two families together.

Martyred English nobalwoman and a victim of a plot to wrestle the throne away from the Tudor's and into the family line of the Dudley's. Upon the death of her cousin, Edward VI, Jane was installed as the Queen of England on July 10, 1553, at the age of sixteen. However the council rescinded their own action and her Catholic cousin, Mary, was crowned Queen nine days later. She was imprisoned in the Tower of London even though she was the victim of the political intrigue. After seven months in prison, during which Queen Mary's Catholic officials repeatedly tried to force Jane to deny her faith in Christ, Jane was beheaded along with her husband.
