What if Lady Jane Grey, the Nine Days Queen, had been born a boy—Lord John Grey? Would England’s history have been completely rewritten?

In 1553, the Protestant King Edward VI skipped over his Catholic sister Mary and named his cousin Lady Jane Grey as his successor. But imagine if Jane had been a male heir instead. Would Mary have still managed to rally support and claim the throne?

A male Lord John Grey would have been far more acceptable to Tudor society, and it’s likely he would have succeeded in becoming king. But what would that have meant for England’s future?

- Would England have become a Puritan state? - What would have happened to Mary Tudor? - Would Elizabeth I have ever taken the throne?

In this fascinating alternate history, I explore how England’s politics, religion, and culture might have changed if a Protestant King John II had ruled instead of Mary I.

It’s a "what if" scenario with huge implications. Let me know in the comments: Would King John have ushered in a Puritan regime? Or would civil unrest have toppled him?
