On Edward’s death Jane was proclaimed Queen and this was ratified by the Council. Supporters of the staunchly [[Catholic]] [[Mary I]] – Henry VIII’s eldest daughter - marshaled their forces, and Jane’s supporters soon admitted defeat. Jane pleaded guilty to treason, and she and Dudley were beheaded. She died on 12th February 1554. Her last words were a denial that she had ever desired the Throne, and that she considered that she was going to her death as a true [[Christian]].

She is seen by many Christian groups in England as an example of Christian persecution by outside forces which continues to this day in England, with biased Anti-Hate Speech laws, which restrict Christian Church sermons.
