Lady Jane Grey, or, How To Lose A Queen In Nine Days

Lady Jane Grey (c. 1537 – 12 February 1554) was kinda the first-ever woman to rule England, except she was technically a girl and technically sort of didn't actually rule? Hence this whole season-long discussion. Anyway, this week is LJG's time to shine!! Learn about how and why she sort of reigned for nine days, how and why she was executed, and most importantly: how will she score on our scandilicous scale??  References:  Crown of Blood: The Deadly Inheritance of Lady Jane Grey by Nicola Tallis The Sisters Who Would Be Queen: Mary, Katherine, and Lady Jane Grey: A Tudor Tragedy by Leanda de Lisle   Lady Jane (the movie, starring baby Helena Bonham Carter and baby Cary Elwes!!)
