Claim: Elizabeth I of England reigned after Edward VI and Mary I.
Evidence: Her half-brother , Edward VI , ruled until his death in 1553 , bequeathing the crown to Lady Jane Grey and ignoring the claims of his two half-sisters , Elizabeth and the Roman Catholic Mary , in spite of statute law to the contrary.
Mary I -LRB- 18 February 1516 -- 17 November 1558 -RRB- was the Queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 until her death.
After her death in 1558 , her re-establishment of Roman Catholicism was reversed by her younger half-sister and successor Elizabeth I , daughter of Henry and Anne Boleyn.
