 * ONLY NINE DAYS IN POSITION OF POWER.**


 * It’s over. Lady Jane Gray has to leave the**
 * throne after only nine days as queen**.

All of us remember what happened nine days ago. Lady Jane Gray, only 16 years old, was taken to Northumberland’s house and led to the throne.

Now we know why Lady Jane Gray became the queen, and not Mary, who everyone thought was the right person to lead the throne. It has been said that Jane Gray’s father Henry Gray, the marquis of Dorset and some other people (Northumberland’s) for a long time had big dreams for his daughter. People who knows the Gray family has told us that Henry Gray was the man that decided Jane’s husband. And he also wanted his daughter to be the queen after Edward. Jane didn’t want to be the queen of England, like she proved to the people at her first day as queen when she said: “The thrown is not my right, and pleaseth me not. The Lady Mary is the rightful heir.” But she had any choice, so she had to take her seat at the throne.

At her second day, she was taken to the tower of London. She didn’t accept the crown, but after a while she agreed to wear it. She insisted that she would not permit her husband to be king.

A few days ago, Mary marched toward London with an army of her own, and then Northumberland left an army to capture her. As we now can see, the nervous royal council has decided to proclaim Mary to be the rightful queen. It’s good to see that the people of London are happy again. Jane’s father has signed proclamation making Mary queen, and he has told his daughter that she is no longer queen. But nobody knows where he is now. He has left London without saying goodbye to anyone, and now nobody knows where he is. Jane is standing alone without her family and are now wondering what would happen in her future. The rumour says that Lady Jane Gray is going to be executed, but is this true? And how soon will this happen?
