Lady Jane Grey "Reigned" For Nine Days : Page 3

There Will Not Be An Update Of The Website Until Feb 12, 2009
I Do Not Have Enough Images For A Worthwhile Update....Sorry!
Lady Jane Grey was informed on July 9th that King Edward VI had died and left the crown to her. Despite this, her "reign" is dated from July 10th and ends on the 19th, thus making her "The Nine Day Queen" as opposed to the "10 Day Queen", which it would've been if dated from July 9th.

The following images represent Lady Jane Grey on the day she was informed of becoming Queen and her brief reign.

Those that belong to my collection will have in the text section of the image "My Collection" plus what info I know about the image.

Those that I've found in other resources, online, or items I was unable to get, will just have the info I have on it.
