Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Lady Jane Grey (the 9 day queen)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Henry VIII's daughter, Mary I!. I don't think Grey was ever crowned!. Four days after Edward's death on July 6, 1553, Jane was proclaimed Queen of England!. However, Mary, who was the rightful heir to the throne according to Henry VIII's will, was gathering support in Suffolk!. She and her followers rode into London nine days later and imprisoned Jane and her supporters!. Mary was the next Queen of England!.

Jane and her husband were held in the Tower of London but were not executed until after a second ill-fated uprising in their name!.

technically it was jane grey who ruled for nine days!. if you wish to discount her then it would be Mary I who was n the throne from 1553 - 1558, just 5 years!. not much longer was her brother edward who ruled for just one extra year - 1547 - 1553!! Www@QuestionHome@Com
