Church History - Jane Grey
I have never heard of 'Jane Grey', but am wondering if she might have been married to Earl Grey, which the lovely tea is named after.
This lady was queen, not for just a day, but for nine days. She was related to King Henry VIII, and was around when a godly man, Edward VI, became king. He only reigned a couple of years and died. After than happened, Jane Grey was put on the throne as queen, but only for nine days. She was put into the Tower of London after Mary's army stormed into the city. Jane Grey died as a martyr there. Just before her death, she gave a Bible to her sister and wrote these words in it: "Rejoice in Christ as I do. Follow the steps of your master Christ, and take up your cross."
This information came from the book, 'The Church History ABCs' (Stephen Nichols). You can probably research this person on the Internet. As will any Internet research, please be careful and discerning. There is a lot of wrong information out there as well as information to make the truth distorted or evil. But we do need to study in order to know the truth and separate it from the lies.
