GUILDFORD DUDLEY

Lord Duldford Dudley was an English aristocrat. The son of John, duke of Northumberland, he was married in 1553 to Lady Jane Grey, whose claim to the throne the duke intended to assert on the death of Edward VI. On the failure of the plot Lord Guildford was condemned to death, but the sentence was not carried into effect until the insurrection of Wyatt induced Mary to order his immediate execution in 1554.
