During the Tudor period, executions were common across England. However some of the most shocking executions came inside the walls of the Tower of London where 3 Queens of England were beheaded in barbaric scenes. Henry VIII had Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, two of his wives executed within the walls of the Tower of London. But during the reign of Bloody Mary I, there was another Queen who's life was claimed by an axeman inside the Tower of London.

Lady Jane Grey was named the successor to Edward VI and she is remembered today as, 'the 9 day Queen,' as she ruled as Queen for only 9 days and was never coronated. Following being declared Queen, Mary I rose up and gathered an army and she ousted Jane from the throne. The Privy Council changed their minds and supported Mary to save their lives, and Lady Jane Grey who was just a teenager was then imprisoned inside of the Tower of London. She was found guilty of treason and was sentenced to death, being either burned at the stake or beheaded at the Queen's orders.

Mary I initially spared Lady Jane, but following a number of rebellions she was then ordered to be executed. Her husband Guildford Dudley was beheaded on Tower Hill, however Lady Jane Grey was spared a public spectacle and on Tower Green she was executed. Mary allowed her to be killed in private, and following this she interred inside of the Tower of London's small chapel. Her execution was performed by axe, and it was noted to have been a clean one.
