Lady Jane Grey, the Nine Days' Queen of England
Class experience
Lady Jane Grey's great-grandfather was Henry VII of England. Her grandmother was the sister of King Henry VIII.

There may be brief, non-explicit mention of people being tortured. There may be some discussion of King Henry VIII's marriages and the accusations of bigamy and incest that were made around his first two marriages.
