| Lady Jane Grey (1537-1554) |
What would the effect have been if she had stayed in power?
It would probably have meant no Mary I, since Lady Jane's supporters were out to capture her during her brief reign.
There would have been no temporary revival of Roman Catholicism in England under Mary I's rule. Therefore the two Oxford colleges that were founded by two Catholic knights on the property of the dissolved Durham College would not have been created.
