Lady Jane Grey is an heir to the English throne, although, Henry's heirs are first in line. John Dudley, hoping to make his own son the King of England, fakes a document removing Mary and Elizabeth from the succession, which fortuitously places Lady Jane in their place. Through his marriage to Lady Jane, Dudley's son, Guildford, would then be named King.
