A black-and-white sketch of Lady Jane Grey, colored by me. She was Queen for only nine days before she was overthrown by supporters of Mary Tudor and beheaded. She was 16.

Her fate was sad; she was just a pawn; she was arrested by her own father who had organised her rise as queen (and of course her husband as king) 
Only 9 days...
I think even Mary didn't want to execute her as she recognised Jane as an innocent victim; and in the end was forced to execute her due to the fact she would be used as a figurehead for rebellion.
