    Lady Jane Grey and King Henry VIII are related since he is her great uncle. Lady Jane Grey`s grandmother is Mary Tudor. King Edward VI influenced his decision of placing Lady Jane Grey on the throne since she was a protestant. Three things I know about Lady Jane Grey is that she was married to Gillford Dudley and that she reluctantly went onto the throne and her and Edward were the most educated monarchs during that time. The key event that affected her life was the day of her coronation and the day she found out about Edward`s will and death.
