__Is Lady Jane Grey the right queen for England?__

As you know, Lady Jane Grey is not the real heir to the throne of England. And because of King Edwards age, only 15 years old, he has to have an advisor. The Kings advisor is now the duke of Northumberland. His son is Lady Jane Greys husband, namely Guildford Dudley. Before King Edward died a tragic death of consumption, or tuberculosis as it’s also called, most people think the advisor persuded King Edward to arrange that Lady Jane Grey will be the next queen of England. Not Mary as it really should be after Edwards death. When Edward died the duke of Northumberland kept the death of the King secret for several days, so Mary would not claim for the throne before Lady Jane Grey was crowned. But the question now is if Lady Jane Grey is the right queen for England? For her the crown is unwanted. Since her early age her parents hoped she would marry Edward and become queen, but when she was 15 years old, they abandoned that dream. The wish of becoming queen was her parents wish, not hers. Is it best for England to be ruled by a queen, that don’t even wants to be a queen? She might take the wrong and not the best decisions for the country.



Three days after King Edwars death Mary heard the news and proclaimed herself as queen. The same day Northumberland led Lady Jane Grey to the throne. We were so lucky to have a reporter under Lady Jane Greys sermony, and here is his report: “ I received a secret tip from my source, who I can not mention, that Mary just found out that King Edward is dead. My source also told me that Northumberland at once will crown Lady Jane Grey to avoid Mary proclaim the throne. The sermony was in two steps. Three days after King Edward died, Northumberland led Lady Jane Grey to his house and led her to a throne. I am not sure if she knew what was going on, because when everyone bowed and curtsied to her, she began to shake. And when Northumberland announced that she was the new queen, you could just see her eyes roll back into her head and she fainted on the floor. She just lied there and no one came and helped her. Is this the kind of queen England wants? A queen that faints and starts shaking when she realise that she’s becoming the new queen? Thousands of girls can only dream to be in her position. When she woke up she just said: "The crown is not my right, and pleaseth me not. The Lady Mary is the rightful heir." She even said that the throne should be given to Mary instead of her. That’s not the kind of way a queen should be thinking. The next day she made her entry into London. It was a cold welcome, because most people thinks Mary is the right queen for the country, not Lady Jane Grey. I was waiting outside The Tower Of London, where she will be crowned. Now it’s no way back, she is the new queen. What’s left to see now is what Mary and the rest of the country will do. Will they accept her, or will they not! “
