The Execution of England's Teenage Queen

<p>To many she&#39;s known as Lady Jane Grey, but history should remember her as Queen Jane I.</p> <p>She was only queen for 9 days in 1553, but this made her the first ever queen of England when she was just 16.</p> <p>What happened in her short life that made her suddenly the most powerful woman in England? How did &#39;Bloody Mary&#39; Tudor react? And how did it all go so wrong?</p> <p>Joining Kate is the wonderful historian Kate Williams, author of <em>Regina: A New History of Women and Power. </em></p> <p>This episode was edited by Hannah Feodorov. The producer was Stuart Beckwith.
