John Dudley composed the Device for Succession, which he attributed to his ward, King Edward. In this document, John Dudley changes the line of succession, carefully omitting Mary and Elizabeth and placing his Lady Jane Grey on the throne. As a result, both Lady Jane Grey and John Dudley are executed.
