The Nine Day Queen

A Learning Life, Jul 06, 2011


I couldn't resist running this video on Ed Radio today - it's the story of The Nine Day Queen, Lady Jane Grey. "Sixteen year old Lady Jane Grey, great- niece of King Henry the VIII, reigned England for nine days before giving up the throne to Mary. She was tried for treason and beheaded." I have never heard of her before (I'm not as up on obscure British monarchs as I could be). Anyhow, now I'm fully versed on the story thanks to Prince and Wikipedia and the history teachers YouTibe Channel.
