The forgotten Tudor queen, Lady Jane Grey, only reigned for 13 short days, and was never formally crowned (despite her epithet as the '9-day-queen'). But what do we really know about her life? Was Jane really the innocent pawn history has portrayed her as, or did she have ambitions of her own for the crown? This video looks at Jane's early life before becoming queen, and asks what those around her did to contribute to her later death.
