Edward VI of England dies, having been persuaded by the Protestant opposition to his Roman Catholic half sister, Mary Tudor (daughter of Henry VIII and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon), to name his first cousin Lady Jane Grey as his successor. She reigns for nine days before Mary's supporters claim the crown for Mary. During Mary I's reign, which lasts until 1558, she re-establishes Roman Catholicism in England, and some three hundred Protestants are burned at the stake for heresy.
