| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Lady Jane |
|---|
The powerful Duke of Northumberland, eager to ensure the continuation of the Protestant Reformation begun by Henry VIII, plots to keep Henry's daughter Mary, a Catholic, from ascending to the throne. His pawn in this plot is the unwilling 16-year-old Lady Jane Grey, a niece of Henry VIII. Northumberland marries Jane to his wastrel son Guildford and wrangles her ascendancy to the throne, where she remains for but nine days.
