Exercice d’entrainement 2 :

Edward knew that his half-sister Mary, who was herself a Catholic, would turn England Catholic again. Edward decided to choose a successor who he knew to be Protestant, and Lady Jane Grey seemed to be a prime candidate. Edward did not want Mary to reverse the work that he and his father had done, so he supported Lady Jane Grey as his successor and even changed his wills to ensure that she would be Queen.
After the death of her half-brother Edward, Mary travelled to East Anglia and began building an army, demanding that she be reinstated as Queen. After the Privy Council of England changes sides to support Mary instead of Jane, the Duke of Northumberland conceded defeat, and Mary was declared the new Queen. Although both sides had armies, there was no battle, as many people now supported Mary.
After she was deposed, Lady Jane Grey and many of her supporters were put on trial for treason, and sentenced to death. However, Mary initially wanted to spare Lady Jane Grey, but her father later joined a rebellion against the Queen which changed Mary’s mind.
Lady Jane Grey was just 16 years old at the time of her death.
