Episode description

Our season 3 finale comes to a close with recounting the final days of Lady Jane Grey and her fellow supporters. In part one of this episode, we discussed Jane's rise to power: Edward VI quickly added a very important annotation to the succession document  changing "Lady Jane's male heirs" to "Lady Jane and her male heirs", making her the next queen of England. At this point, Jane's supporters are few and Mary Tudor is building up an army to take the crown she has fought long and hard for. In part two, we reveal Jane's downfall and gruesome fate. The question still remain: does she deserve the title of being a British monarch if she was only crowned for nine days? Or should she be skipped over in the line of royals? Elizabeth and Megan discuss this and more in this final episode.
