Ah, that is an easy one. If Edward V is in the history books as king, even though he was never crowned, then so should Jane Grey be recognised as Queen Jane. And so should Matilda! Nuff said!
Heather Darsie (author of Anna, Duchess of Cleves: The King’s Beloved Sister)
She should be known as Queen Jane, in my opinion. Though her accession to the throne was incomplete due to her never being annointed, she was properly designated as Edward VI’s heir. Mary I essentially staged a coup, in some ways, to take back what Mary saw as her birthright.
