Lady Jane Grey
Everything you ever wanted to know about Lady Jane Grey, who, in 1553, occupied the throne of England for about nine days before she was re-usurped by Mary, King Henry VIII's Catholic daughter. Lady Jane Grey was put on the throne by King Edward in an attempt to keep the crown Protestant. It's another one of those "twisted, despotic succession lineage" things that you can read all about at the link. I could not even do it justice without a Master's Thesis in European History. July 19, 1553, was her last day as queen. She was executed on Feb 12, 1554, a political necessity for Queen Mary.
