There have been a myriad of tragic tales and unfortunate instances throughout human history. Many involve specific individuals, while others are stories about groups of people. Lady Jane Grey, cousin of Edward VI of England and great-niece of Henry VIII of England. Although the "Nine Days' Queen" did not have a long reign, her legacy continued for some time. Her presence in the politics of 16th century Tutor England sent ripples out for years to come.
