Technically Queen Jane is correct but I have to admit that I think of her as Lady Jane Grey, probably because that was what I was taught at school.
Helene Harrison (author of ‘Tudor Executions: Nobility to the Block)
Queen Jane. She may have only reigned for 13 days and was never crowned but other monarchs have t been crowned and are still considered monarchs – Edward V and Edward VIII, for example. She acted as queen, head of the Privy Council and signed documents as queen, and had the support of council. Legally it may have been questionable at the time, but had she triumphed over Mary I have no doubt the legalities would have been sorted, as with other usurping monarchs after the fact.
