Yes, I am # Jane Grey the Nine-Day Queen, placed briefly on the throne by the will of her predecessor, Edward VI (and probably also by the machinations of the Duke of Northumberland on his regency council), and executed by her successor Mary less than a year later. Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. You are up, @Elendil_s_Heir ! And it looks like it’s time to start the August thread. ---
