Lady '''Jane Grey''', or '''Jane Dudley''', (1537–54), a sincere [[Christian]], was proclaimed Queen of England on 10 July 1553, against her will, by her father-in-law the [[Duke of Northumberland]]. [[Mary I|Mary]], the legitimate heir, refused to accept Jane's ascension. Jane abdicated nine days later on July 19.
