MARY I
, SUCCESSION AND FAILURE
OF NORTHUMBERLAND’S
DEVYSE TO LADY JANE GREY
• July 1653 Lady Jane Grey proclaimed queen
• Northumberland summoned troops and sent
naval squadron (sqn) to Norfolk to stop Mary if
she sailed
• Unpopular move, Norfolk had harsh treatment
during Ketts rebellions- naval sqn swapped sides
• Other families swapped sides for Mary
• Unpopular- Northumberland’s sons wife (lady
jane grey- LJG) many saw it as trying to keep hold
of power- it was illegal (going against the act of
succession) and seen as an illegitimate way of
continuing Catholicism
• Haig suggested there were lots of popular support
because of the attacks on Catholic faith and parish
churches- most people were NOT protestant!
