    The Devise for the Succession was a plan by Edward VI and Northumberland for Lady Jane Grey to succeed Edward instead of Mary, even though Mary was the rightful heir. They did not want the Catholic Mary to be queen. Mary raised an army against this plan, showing strength as a female leader, and gained widespread support from the people who believed the Tudor line should continue through Mary. Lady Jane Grey had little support and was seen as weak.

     Devise for the Succession was the plan made by Edward and Northumberland.
     When Edward died, Lady Jane Grey would take over the throne, not Mary, the true heir.
     Edward and Northumberland were both protestant and did not want the Catholic Mary on
    the throne.
     Mary was angry at this and raised an army to attack London. This shows she was a strong
    leader even though she was a woman.
     Many protestants also supported Mary.
     Lady Jane Grey was weak, and Mary had gathered masses of support.
     The people respected that the Tudors were the family of English royalty and therefore Mary
    should be queen not Lady Jane Grey.
