On Edward’s death Jane was proclaimed Queen and this was ratified by the Council. Supporters of the staunchly Catholic Mary – Henry VIII’s eldest daughter - marshalled 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.
