The Nine Day Queen
Most historians have a hero or heroine, one person they admire and respect for reasons known only to them. These reasons may be diverse; a similar idiosyncrasy perhaps, unbelievable courage and bravery, or a tenacity that we cannot help but acknowledge. There are few historical characters though, who despite being recognized for their achievements, could be seen as "true innocents." However, I believe that Lady Jane Grey may have come close.
